Mixing bowl
Whisk
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Skillet
9x13 inch baking dish

Ingredients

Keto "Noodles"

3 large eggs
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder

Taco Meat Filling

1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp taco seasoning
½ cup tomato sauce
¼ cup water

Layers and Topping

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup black olives, sliced
¼ cup green onions, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Begin with the keto "noodles". In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the "noodle" batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading evenly to form a rectangle. Bake for 15 minutes, until set and slightly golden. Once baked, set aside to cool, then slice into lasagna noodle-sized strips.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.
Stir taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and water into the cooked beef. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, begin layering your lasagna. Place a layer of keto "noodles" at the bottom, then spread half of the taco meat mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining "noodles", taco meat, and cheese.
Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish the baked lasagna with sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and cilantro before serving.

Notes

Ensure the "noodle" layer is cool before slicing to maintain structure. Adjust the level of spice to your preference by using mild or hot taco seasoning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For an even heartier dish, consider adding a layer of sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the lasagna.
