Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
  • Olive oil
  • 3 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 - 4 medium bell peppers, diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 jars of marinara sauce (about oz.)
  • 10 oz. gluten free lasagna noodles
  • 3-4 oz. pepperoni slices
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 2 c. mozzarella, shredded

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage. Season with salt and pepper. Then, remove and set aside. Next, use the same skillet to sauté the zucchini, onion, and bell peppers. Add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil as needed. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 Tbsp. of dried oregano.
  • Optional Step: Meanwhile, bring a large pot filled halfway with salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 7-9 minutes, until al dente. Then, drain. (I used an oven-ready version, so I did not need to boil the noodles first.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large baking dish, create layers of pasta, beef/sausage, veggies, marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. I always begin with nonstick spray and a thin layer of marinara sauce. I like to use about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella for the first layer, then sliced mozzarella for the middle layer. Finally, sprinkle the top with the remaining cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with dried oregano.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, covered. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
