This Keto Lasagna Bake ditches the noodles, and it’s so simple, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner. Sometimes simple is best, and that’s exactly what this recipe is!
When I think about my favorite things about lasagna, of course my mind wanders to the gooey mozzarella, the creamy ricotta, the savory marinara and the perfectly seasoned meat.
We all know what’s missing from my list…the noodles, of course.
But that’s my point with this recipe…the rest of the ingredients are so overwhelmingly delicious, it’s easy to forget the noodles completely. So why not create an easy, low carb lasagna recipe that’s so good you won’t feel like you’re missing the noodles?
Keto Lasagna Bake
Sometimes noodle replacements are a really good idea, like in my Low Carb Taco Cabbage Skillet or my Keto Cheeseburger Helper recipes. The cabbage is a nutritious addition that adds a nice texture.
Same with my Easy Keto Lasagna, a white sauce lasagna that uses cauliflower as the “noodle” layer. It’s a bit time intensive, but it is yummy!
But sometimes it’s easier to ditch the noodles for an equally filling meal that eats more like a casserole.
Note: If you just can’t ditch the noodles, definitely check out this recipe for low carb lasagna, it’s really delicious!
What ingredients do I need for a Keto Lasagna Bake?
One of the best parts about this recipe is that the ingredients are so simple. All you for this completely mouthwatering dish need is:
- Ground Beef
- Italian Sausage
- Ricotta Cheese (If you don’t like this you can swap for cottage cheese. But adding seasoning to the ricotta, if you haven’t before, might change your mind.)
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Marinara Sauce (I prefer Rao’s)
- Chopped White Onion
- Garlic Powder
- Oregano

January 27, 2019 at 5:29 pmI really like the looks of this lasagna. Yay!! No doodles. 😁 One question: I see you are using a cast iron skillet. I just got one for Christmas and haven’t used it yet. How would you clean it and use it again for another meal? I didn’t understand their instructions. Thank you for sharing yummy recipes.

January 28, 2019 at 7:43 pmJust wash it in hot soapy water, you can use a scrubber pad if needed. After washing, heat on the stove top to dry. I use a couple of napkins and a little Crisco to ‘season’ the inside and rim of the skillet. This keeps it from rusting. You don’t need much Crisco or lard, just enought for a thin layer. Then let the pan cool before putting away.
Im sure other folks have other ways to clean, but this has worked in my family for a long time. In fact, my mother has recently given me the family cast iron skillet that has been passed down from my great grandmother (my mother is 79 for reference). Still in near perfect condition!

February 12, 2019 at 5:13 pmI’ve been told never to use soap on a cast iron. Hot water + scrubber only. I usually bake my pans for 20 or so minutes after applying the oil/lard.

February 16, 2019 at 4:01 pmI have been using cast iron for over 40 years and have always washed it with soap, then dried it on the stove. I have never added oil or lard.

May 16, 2019 at 3:43 pmJustine, you are absolutely correct. My husband is an extreme fan of cast iron and very picky about how they are cared for. This is how he does it.

February 11, 2019 at 12:22 pmWhen you say to use Parmesan cheese, is that shredded also or do I use the grated Parmesan?
Sam says
February 12, 2019 at 1:23 pmI used shredded, but I would 100% use them interchangeably. It shouldn’t make much of a difference 🙂

February 18, 2019 at 7:49 pmI made this tonight and added a bag of frozen sponch to the meat sauce. Amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe.

February 19, 2019 at 10:01 amThis was super easy and yum. I baked in a Corning dish and it was fine. I also cut several zucchini lengthwise on my mandoline slicer using thickish setting (1/4”?), steamed lightly and layered like pasta noodles. It was great and added some nutrish!

February 19, 2019 at 5:34 pmThis is fantastic! I don’t miss the noodles at all. Will definitely become a staple in my home. Thank you so much!

March 3, 2019 at 8:56 pmThis was just what I was looking for! I wanted to keep it easy but had a zuke to use up so I diced it up with the onion, otherwise just the same. So good! Went into the winner folder. Thanks so much!!

March 9, 2019 at 7:37 pmThank you for this recipe! I made this tonight and it is so DELICIOUS. Non-Keto friends even went back for seconds. I added a 1/2 bag of fresh spinach and a portobello mushroom (because I had it in the refrigerator)…they added a nice balance to the meat & cheese & would recommend to anyone making this dish. I also chopped some fresh basil as a garnish which was also a nice touch. THanks again…this was an amazing, delish, and super easy to make recipe.
Roxy says
April 17, 2019 at 1:33 pmWhen did you add the spinach?
Ann Kozlow says
March 13, 2019 at 9:19 amI don’t eat read meat. Can I substitute ground turkey? I think there is a turkey sausage also. Looks delicious.
Tina says
March 15, 2019 at 9:58 pmI don’t have a cast iron dish, can I substitute with another baking dish?
Joy says
March 18, 2019 at 6:04 pmThankyou, thank you, thak you! This dish is absolutely delucious. It’smy second time making it. The first time I followed the diections as written. Tonight I used 1.5 pounds of ground beef (no sausage). It turned out equally delicious. Can’t wait to try some if your other recipes!
Judy says
April 15, 2019 at 12:07 pmI made this yummy recipe for dinner last night, it is SO DELICIOUS!! My husband agreed that this is definitely a keeper. We didn’t even miss the noodles. Thank you for sharing, I will be making this again!

May 8, 2019 at 4:33 pmI added one egg to the ricotta mixture for consistency, along with a few extra spices. Everything turned out great. Delicious recipe, thanks!
