Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil for garnish.
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Cook the Meat Mixture:
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef until cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent. - Season the Meat:
Stir in the sugar-free marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to let the flavours combine. - Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and ricotta cheese. Mix thoroughly to get a creamy cheese mixture. - Layering:
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the bottom. Spoon half of the cheese mixture on top and spread it evenly. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of cheese. - Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. - Garnish and Serve:
Once out of the oven, let the Keto Pizza Lasagna rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the top for a burst of freshness. Slice and serve hot.
