Ingredients


1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, garlic-infused
227 gm Beef, ground, extra lean (ground)
227 gm Pork, ground, lean (or sausage)
1 can(s) (15oz) Tomato sauce, canned
2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
1 pinch Sea Salt (to taste)
1 dash Black pepper (to taste)
1 squash Butternut squash (medium)
3 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions


  • Pre-heat oven to 400ºF. 
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the garlic-infused olive oil. Add the ground beef and pork and cook until browned. Once cooked through, drain the fat.
  • Add the tomato sauce, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and pepper to the drained meat and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop off the ends of the squash and peel it. Once peeled, cut the squash in half, width-wise, and remove the seeds. Slice the squash into 1/2 inch uniform planks.
  • Using a rectangular baking dish, lightly cover the bottom of the dish with some of the meat sauce to keep the squash from sticking to the pan. Add a layer of squash (do not overlap the pieces). Spoon more of the meat sauce mixture on top of the squash for the next layer, then add 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat two more times (squash, sauce, cheese), with the cheese on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until the lasagna has slightly browned on top and the squash is tender. Allow the lasagna to cool and set for 10 minutes before cutting.

Notes:

This dish freezer-friendly. Freeze for lunches, re-heat, and enjoy!
