Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
Step 2: Cook the Meats
- In a large skillet, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, and ground pork.
- Cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Season the meat mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix until well blended. This will be your creamy cheese layer.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom.
- Add half of the meat mixture, followed by half of the cheese mixture. Spread it evenly.
- Repeat the layers: marinara sauce, remaining meat mixture, and then the remaining cheese mixture.
- Top with the last cup of marinara sauce and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent sticking, you can spray the foil with cooking spray).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 6: Let It Rest
- Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes for easier serving.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty Carnivore Lasagna!
