🔪 Instructions
1. Make the Meat “Noodles”
These act as the pasta layers.
-
Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
-
Mix ground beef, eggs, and salt until combined.
-
Spread the mixture thinly (about ½ inch thick) onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes until firm.
-
Let cool slightly, then slice into rectangle “noodle” sheets.
(Tip: Make 2–3 sheets depending on your dish size.)
2. Cook the Filling
-
In a large skillet, cook ground pork (or sausage) until browned.
-
Drain excess fat if needed (or keep it for flavor).
-
Lower the heat, then stir in cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
-
Add half the shredded cheese if using. Mix well.
3. Assemble the Lasagna
-
In a casserole or baking dish, layer as follows:
-
Meat “noodle” sheet
-
Creamy meat filling
-
Repeat 2–3 layers depending on size
-
-
Top with remaining cheese.
4. Bake
-
Bake uncovered at 190°C / 375°F for 20–25 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
-
For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
5. Rest & Serve
-
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve warm — it’s rich, meaty, and pure carnivore satisfaction.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
-
Fridge: 4–5 days in a sealed container.
