Ingredients
  • 1 lb grassfed ground beef
  • ½ jar of organic spaghetti sauce (Careful on those ingredients!)
  • 1 TB Italian Seasoning
  • 3 lbs zucchini sliced long/thin
  • 1 cup softened whole cream cheese (Either easy homemade or whole organic)
  • Oz whole cheese of choice or blend of cheeses, shredded (for instance moz, chedder, parm)
  • 1 egg (if egg free use an egg replacer egg)
  • 1 ¼ cup gluten free bread crumbs (I just dry out my GF bread and buzz them in the processor. If you are grain free I’m thinking using a mix of coconut flour and almond flour would work nice!)
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • Sea salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. MAKE THE MEAT SAUCE: Brown the beef in a couple TB of butter or coconut oil along with the 1 TB Italian Seasoning and some sea salt. Add the ½ jar spaghetti sauce and simmer a few minutes.
  2. MAKE THE CHEESE SPREAD: In a medium mixing bowl, use a spoon to mix the cream cheese, about ¾ of the shredded cheese, egg, and 1 tsp Italian Season.
  3. ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA: Arrange 1 layer of zucchini in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle about half the bread crumbs. Spread ½ the cheese spread. Spread ½ the meat sauce. Layer the rest of the zucchini. Spread the other ½ meat sauce. Spread the other ½ cheese spread. Sprinkle the other half of the bread crumbs. Sprinkle the very top with the last ¼ of the shredded cheese.
  4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Check around the 50 minute mark in case our ovens run different.
