Meat Lasagna Recipes

This is a beautiful lasagna that is perfect for special occasions. This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time. It is also extremely flavorful, so it's difficult to stop at just one slice!

This recipe is the first time our family has tried making lasagna from scratch. Can't remember what magazine we pulled it from. Ended up swapping one of the jars of sauce for a "meat flavored" one for personal taste reasons, but feel free to not use that and keep it strictly vegetarian.

this is an american test kitchen recipe from light recipes cook book, I made a few adjustments and its the best

Originally a vegetarian lasagna recipe, we added meat and some extra cheese to suit our taste. Recipe includes those additions with notes on how to revert back to vegetarian.

This is so hearty that I had to reduce the serving size because I couldn't eat as much with my side of extra veggies (asparagus). This has mushrooms, carrots, onions and broccoli. Yum!

Plain and simple--off the box

This is my family's favorite pasta recipe. Because of prep time, I often make the sauce the day beforehand or make the entire lasagna the night before and bake the next day. Baked or not, it freezes well in individual portions for future use. Enjoy!

This could be made "lighter" with ground turkey and fat-free cheese(s). I used fresh herbs from my garden, but dried can replace the fresh herbs. These make hearty servings and are great served with a salad - very filling! Yes, the fat is "high", but it comes from the cheese and meat and for a dinner, this is NOT bad - and loads you up on PROTEIN!

I like to make ahead of time, stick in freezer or fridge and can be cooked later.

Makes 12 hearty servings (can be more - as it is for our family...which changes the calorie content)

This is a super fast lasagna recipe to prep that doesn't require the lasagna noodles to be boiled before making the lasagna! The noodles get cooked with the use of a total of 50 ounces of pasta sauce. I will never go back to the old way ever again!
Original recipe from "Golden Grain Mission Reduced Carb Lasagna Noodle" box
I have done some modifications to accomodate avoiding sulfites or preservatives
- Italian Sausage is actually a combination of beef and spices instead of using pre-made sausages
- Marinara sauce any kind can be used, because of preservatives avoidance I used the Safeway Organic version.
- Reduced Parmesan cheese from original recipe but added onion and extra garlic to make up for taste.

Yummy Lasagna - portion controlled, full of vegetables, very tasty!

This healthy version of lasagna uses lean ground beef, spinach, and cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Yummy!

Lasagna made with ground beef. Noodles do NOT need to be pre-cooked.

This is not a fancy Italian dish - It is a simple, classic tasting Lasagna. For me, it brings back all of the best memories of Sunday dinner with my family.

this is ease to prepare and taste delicious - can be made ahead and frozen.

With whole wheat pasta, low fat ricotta, spinach, and broccoli, this ends up being a pretty great meal.

Beef, Sausage, Pepperonis, and lots of cheese.
