Eggplant and Grass Fed Beef Lasagna (Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 1 # ground grass-fed beef

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Slice eggplant or zucchini (or a mixture of both) thinly, longways, with a mandolin if you have one, or use a knife carefully, making long planks.
- Roast on a sheet pan until wilted and lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
- Sauté onions and beef over medium-high heat, add in mushrooms if using and brown. Add sauce and if using spinach add now.
- Layer as follows:- sauce- uncooked lasagna noodles (or veggie noodles)- yogurt- sauce- sliced mozzarella
- Bake for about 40-50 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
Notes
*Note: the Greek yogurt & mozzarella are optional. If you want a dairy-free option either omit the yogurt OR sub with cashews (soak 1c cashews in 1c hot water, blend cashews + water until smooth).
I prefer using a glass container. Simply add the lid to easily store in the fridge or freezer.
