High Protein Lasagna

Ingredients:

  • ¾ pound ground beef
  • Sliced CLEAN (no hormones, no antibiotics) deli meat of choice
  • Half a jar (or more) of no sugar added marinara
  • ½ -1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Half to full package of CLEAN shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

 

Set the oven to 375.

For the sauce, cook your ground beef, then add a little salt, and pepper and then add your marinara towards the end and let simmer.

Mix half a cup of ricotta with the egg & parmesan.

Make a layer with the beef sauce and marinara. Add a layer of the ricotta mix. Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, then a layer of the deli meat. Repeat these layers at least one more time. (I haven’t gone further than 3 layers).

Bake for about 25 minutes covered, remove the cover, and bake another 10-15 minutes (ish) until the cheese is bubbly.

P.S. Make sure that your foil is “tented” if you don’t use a dish cover so the cheese doesn’t stick to it.
