Keto Lasagna Bowls
My kids LOVE my keto Protein Noodle Lasagna! They would eat keto lasagna every night if they could. Sometimes I do not have time to make a whole pan of lasagna so I often did a short cut version of keto lasagna bowls.
I once adored going to Olive Garden for lasagna (which is a huge hit in the book Keto Restaurant Favorites). But when Craig lost his job, I started cooking our favorite restaurant meals at home! Not only was it a great way to save money, but we both lost a lot of weight eating healthier versions at home!

Tip: If you use part-skim mozzarella in the lasagna bowls, there will be excess moisture in the bowl after baking; you may have to drain some of the moisture.
Keto Lasagna Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 12 ounces ground beef 85% lean
- 3 tablespoons chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups Primal Kitchen Marinara Sauce
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 16 slices deli chicken about 8 ounces (click HERE)
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese about 6 ounces
Instructions
- Put the sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook until the sausage and beef are well browned, about 5 minutes, stirring often to crumble the meat. Stir in the marinara and remove from the heat.
- To assemble, divide the saucy meaty mixture into oven-safe serving bowls. Arrange a slice of the chicken slices over the meat sauce in each bowl. Dollop with ricotta over the chicken slice. Top each bowl with a sprinkle of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers, using the rest of the meat sauce, chicken slices, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Place oven-safe bowls in a 375 degree F toaster oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted (or heat in the microwave for 60 seconds).
- BUSY FAMILY TIP: MAKE EXTRA AND Cover and store in fridge until ready to consume.
- Store extras in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“This is for Maria. I’m reading The 30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse Book, tears of graditude. You are an inspiration for me! Really, really reading it , like, I never saw all the words of health wisdom…this is my “Health Bible”… you were put in my life exactly when I thought I would not see my 68th Birthday next Monday. Thank you. I have a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes. My Keto Journey has only begun. I spent my whole life knowing in my heart there had to be a way for me to eat, without guilt, a way for me to be healthy, a way for me to feel alive, YOU, are my way … you are my light, you helped me to live.
I am off heart meds, diabetic meds, healed my liver, thyroid has been made smaller in size, no neck pain from it anymore, my joints are pain free. I have the energy of a 30 year old. My friends said they saw death at my door last year. I’m alive and going to live until I choose to go! There are not enough words to tell you both how valuable you are for me and all…your big Keto Family! Love you, Bless you.
Alive in Arizona because you cared enough to share yourselves with the World!” Sue S.

Any sliced deli meat could work, No?
Yes.
This sounds perfect to break fast after my long runs. Can you please give me a sub for the dairy parts (I am dairy free). I do eat eggs though.
Kite Hill makes a nondairy ricotta that would probably work well. I found it in my local Whole Foods.
I know this is off topic. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know how to make a dairy-free whipped cream. Please and thank you. I did see that you wrote to use coconut cream. I whipped it by hand, a handheld mixer and a stand mixer and nothing happened. I added Swere to it and it is just sitting in my fridge all sad.
I just use heavy whipping cream with a little stevia glycerite and whip. You have to whip it a lot. 🙂
She said dairy free!
i use a stick blender. It has a whipping attachment. Whipps up in no time , but that is with heavy whipping cream.
Did you try putting the can in the fridge for 24 hours? Don’t shake it, pour out the water and just whip up the ‘solid’ stuff.
I click on the homemade ricotta and it takes me to the preorder for the instant pot book. Is that where it will be available?
I love this recipe.. sometimes crumbled bacon on top
Thanks!
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A RECIPE FOR RICOTTA CHEESE ANYWHERE ON THE NET. IT’S VERY EASY TO MAKE AND TASTES SO MUCH BETTER THAN STORE BOUGHT
Made this for dinner, it was great! Sauce recommended was excellent! A permanent addition to our dinner rotation. What a great idea to make extra and have them ready for a quick dinner from the freezer. Thanks!
Thanks!
