By deiv3 on September 13, 2024

Ingredients:

For the "Lasagna Noodles":
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 lb deli-sliced roast beef or thinly sliced steak (ribeye or flank steak works well)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Make the keto lasagna noodles:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded mozzarella, and salt until fully combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a thin layer.
- Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until set. Once baked, let it cool and cut into lasagna-sized "noodles."
Prepare the filling:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using), and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the beef:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced roast beef or thinly sliced steak. Cook just until browned and heated through, then remove from heat. If using raw steak, cook until medium doneness.
Make the cheese sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and shredded provolone. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the lasagna:
- In a greased 9x13 baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce on the bottom.
- Lay down one layer of the keto lasagna noodles. Top with half of the sautéed vegetables, half of the beef, and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
- Repeat with another layer of noodles, veggies, beef, and cheese.
- Finish the top layer with the remaining cheese sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake the lasagna:
- Place the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Rest and serve:
- Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help it set and be easier to serve.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or additional sautéed vegetables if desired, and enjoy!
