No Noodles Lasagna recipe – Easy to make – Delicious Everyone will want seconds Ingredients
- Meat Layer:
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 1 Onion
- Spice ( garlic salt or Tex mex whatever you desire)
- 1 jar of spaghetti sauce ( I use Ragu )
- Middle layer:
- 1 frozen spinach package ( 10 ounces)
- Cream Cheese pkg ( 8 ounce)
- 1 Egg
- salt & pepper
- Optional
- 1-2 eggplant ( if desired)
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheese ( as much as desired)
- 3 Tablespoons of Parmesan Cheese ( the kind in a can)
Instructions
- Begin by browning your ground beef on the stovetop on medium heat.
- While that is browning – if you’re adding eggplant – Chop thin long strips and sprinkle olive oil on cookie sheet and lightly coat your eggplant strips and pop them in the oven at 350 degrees – Turning once after 10 minutes for another 10 minutes. Let your eggplant noodles cool.
- Once your ground beef is cooked – Add spaghetti sauce and chopped onion to the cooked beef – and continue to cook at low to medium heat and stir.
- Next create the Spinach layer
- Soften your cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds until you can easily mix with a fork – add in your drained thawed spinach and 1 egg with some salt and Pepper – Stir well mixing it all together. Set aside
- I use a 11 x 13 baking sheet
- Put half of your of meat mixture on the bottom
- then layer your eggplant noodles in a single layer ( If you have tons of egg plant you can add a layer at the bottom. )
- Add a thin layer of shredded cheese
- Then layer your spinach layer ( all)
- Then add remainder of meat mixture ( It may not fully cover – don’t worry)
- Add remainder of Shredded cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan
- Bake in over at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.
