This truly is the best low carb lasagna you will ever have. If you really knew me you would know that lasagna has always been my favourite dish. I love my moms lasagna and enjoyed having it on special occasions. As I got older I would always wake up early on Christmas morning to make lasagna with my mother. It’s a perfect dish full of ground beef, cheese and delicious sauce.

These days I make my lasagna a little different because of my diabetes I had to learn how to make lasagna without the noodles. Luckily there are many variations of low carb lasagnas out there, one of my favs is Marie Emmerichs lasagna. This inspired me to recreate my moms lasagna and how we made it without the noodles.

Now I enjoy this low carb lasagna not only on special occasions but wheneer i’m in the mood for it. It’s such an easy dish to make. The only time consuming part is browning the beef, the rest is simply layering it all in a pan and waiting an hour for it to back in the oven. Oh yes, nice and bubbly lasagna that won’t mess up my blood sugars. There is nothing better and it’s just like my moms but please don’t tell her I said that.

Low Carb Lasagna – Meatsagna

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 jars of your fav low carb tomatoe sauce
• 24 provolone slices
• 18 deli turkey slices
• grated parmesan or grana padano cheese
• 3 cups of shredded mozzarella
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red chilli pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion

Instructions:

1. In a large pot over low heat, sauté the roughly chopped onion and garlic in the olive oil
2. Add salt and pepper to taste, I also added some red chilli pepper flakes which is optional
3. Once the onion and garlic are transluscent add the 2 lbs of ground beef and brown on medium heat
4. Add the 2 jars of sauce and mix well
5. Bring the heat down to low and place a lid on the pot to let simmer for about 15 minutes
6. Remove from the burner, remove the lid and let cool for another 15 minutes

• Now is a good time to preheat the oven at 425

Assembly

1. Using a 9″ x 13″ baking pan you can now assemble the lasagna
2. Start with coating the bottom of the pan with some of the tomatoe sauce
3. Layer the turkey slices, I used 6 slices per layer but you may need to use more, depending on how big your slices are
4. Next layer the provolone, I used 8 slices per layer
5. Layer on the meat sauce
6. Gingerly layer on some mozzarella
7. Sprinkle over with parmesan
8. Layer another 2 more times, for a total of 3 layers. If you are using a shallow pan you may only fir 2 layers or if your pan is deeper you could possibly have 4 layers.
9. Cover with tinfoil and place in over for 30 minutes, I placed my pan on a cookie sheet in case there was any spill over.
10. Remove from oven, remove the tinfoil and place back in over for another 30 minutes or until it looks nice and bubbly and crispy to your liking
11. Remove from oven, let sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the lasagna to set. This will make it easier to slice without it falling apart.
12. I sliced it in squares with a sharp knife and then I removed each square with a metal spatula

Enjoy with a nice ceasar salad and how about my Keto Tiramisu for dessert?
