Jeles' LASAGNA FILLING
LASAGNA FILLING
1/4 cup onion minced
2 tablespoons of minced Garlic
1 lb ground beef I used lean ground beef
1/2 pound of Italian Sausage (mild or hot)
1 1/2 tsp Mrs dash
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp of Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste (I did 1 tsp of salt 1 1/2 tsp of ground pepper)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
8 oz of sliced mushrooms (cut them up smaller)
3-4 Cups of Spinach
12 oz ricotta cheese
8 oz of Sour cream
4 large Eggs
12 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of fresh Parsley or Oregano (or both)
INSTRUCTIONS
White Mixture
In a Bowl add the ricotta cheese, sour cream, eggs, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and 1/4 cup of Mozzarella cheese to the mixture stir well. Add pepper, salt to taste. I also add Mrs Dash 1 tsp, and 1 tsp Goya and 1 tsp of garlic powder and mix well. Set aside
Preheat oven to 350*
Spray your glass or baking lasagna pan with olive oil spray
Place into middle of oven on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, or until surface is no longer wet and is firm to the touch.
Take my Jeles' Keto Pasta Recipe and cut them as Lasagna sheets... Set noodles aside to let cool.
In a large skillet, (I use my cast iron skillet) add olive oil, onion, garlic, mushrooms and saute for a few minutes then add ground beef and sausage. Cook on medium heat until meat is browned. Drain excess fat from pan. Set aside...
~ASSEMBLING LASAGNA~
Evenly slice your lasagna noodles (to fit your baking pan)
Add a thin layer of sauce to the bottom of your pan. Add first noodle layer over tomato sauce. (Under notes on my page)
Add the meat mixture across first noodle layer. Spread white ricotta cheese across. Sprinkle mozzarella and sprinkle Parmesan cheese
across the top, now add your spinach and repeat.... (adding a little sauce to each layer) Make as many layers as you can. (This makes a large Lasagna)
Finish with the rest of the Mozzarella topping off the Lasagna
Bake lasagna in the middle of your oven at 350* for about 45 minutes. If you wish to get some color on the top cheese layer, set your oven to a low broil (after the 40 min bake) and let the cheese bubble and blister for about 3-5 minutes.
Let lasagna cool slightly before slicing and serving. If desired, sprinkle on some finely chopped fresh basil or parsley, freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving. (optional)
Large pan makes 18 servings * Medium pan (If you saw my Live video I used 2 medium pans) (make 9 servings)
