Ingredients
 

  • Olive oil (to coat)
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • ½ lb. ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 15 oz. part skim ricotta cheese
  • 16 oz. marinara sauce (2 cups)
  • 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Fresh basil
  • Garlic bread, crackers, or chips, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 inch deep dish pie plate or square pan.
  • Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and ground beef and cook until beef is well browned and no pink remains. Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If there is excess grease at the bottom of the pan, drain it off.
  • Spread ricotta evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread cooked onion and beef mixture on top of ricotta.
  • Layer ½ the tomato sauce followed by ½ the mozzarella over the beef mixture, then repeat.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the last mozzarella layer. Sprinkle evenly with dried Italian herbs.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Remove, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve warm with crackers, garlic bread, or bread sticks.

Notes

  • This dip is easy to make ahead of time! Follow the instructions through step 5, then cover and refrigerate. Bake according to directions whenever you're ready.
  • Leftover lasagna dip should be stored, covered, in the fridge, and will last for 4-5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
