Carnivore Lasagna

Print Recipe

A unique twist on traditional lasagna that focuses on meat and cheese without any pasta, perfect for meat lovers and low-carb diets.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs (680 g) ground beef
  • ½ lb (225 g) ground Italian sausage (optional)
  • 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 – 10 mozzarella cheese slices (or provolone slices)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp butter or beef tallow
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a skillet, melt the butter or beef tallow over medium heat. Add the ground beef and sausage. Cook until browned and crumbled, stirring occasionally. Season lightly with salt and pepper (if using). Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until creamy and smooth.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or tallow to prevent sticking.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Start by spreading a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of the greased dish. Place half of the cheese slices on top, overlapping them slightly. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture and then add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layering process finishing with a layer of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake the Lasagna: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Make sure to brown the meat thoroughly for added flavor. Allow the dish to cool before cutting for better structure.
