Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ lb ground Italian sausage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchini, chopped

Tomato and Seasonings

  • 2 14oz cans chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Cheeses

  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese
  • 8 oz grated mozzarella, divided
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté onion: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and chopped onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes until onions become translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add garlic and meats: Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to release aroma. Then add ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook while crumbling the meat for around 7-8 minutes until fully browned. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Add vegetables and simmer: Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in chopped zucchini, canned tomatoes, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 8 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften.
  4. Incorporate cheeses: Stir in ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella (4 oz), and all the parmesan cheese until evenly combined throughout the skillet.
  5. Melt remaining mozzarella: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella melts completely and becomes gooey.
  6. Serve warm: Remove the lid and serve the keto zucchini lasagna skillet hot, enjoying the cheesy, flavorful layers without the carbs.

Notes

  • You can substitute Italian sausage with all ground beef if preferred.
  • If zucchini releases too much water, drain excess liquid before adding cheeses.
  • For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes according to taste.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • Use fresh shredded cheeses for best melting results.
