HOW TO MAKE CARNIVORE LASAGNA

STEP 1: MAKING THE MEAT SAUCE

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Break the meat into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Season with salt and pepper (if using). Cook until the meat is fully browned and no pink remains (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Drain excess fat if desired, then set the meat aside.

STEP 2: MAKING THE “PASTA” SHEETS

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg layer is set and lightly golden. Let it cool, then cut into lasagna-sized strips.

STEP 3: ASSEMBLING AND BAKING THE LASAGNA

  1. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cooked meat mixture on the bottom.
  2. Place a layer of the baked egg “pasta” sheets over the meat.
  3. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese over the egg sheets, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat on top.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS

  • Allow the lasagna to cool completely before storing.
  • Transfer leftovers to an airtight container or wrap the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

HOW TO REHEAT LEFTOVERS

  • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the lasagna in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Microwave Method: Place a single serving on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until warm.
