Big Meanie'S Meat & Zucchini Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
2 large zucchini
1/2 large white onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried basil
3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups low fat mozzarella

Preparation

Slice the zucchini lengthwise in 1/8-inch thick strips. Place in bowl and coat with salt.
Lay zucchini out on paper towels. Let set for 1 hour to pull out moisture.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion about 2 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic.
Add ground beef and cook until browned.
Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, nutmeg and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes, stir occasionally, the tomatoes should break down & the sauce thicken.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Blot the zucchini dry with paper towels.
Use one third of zucchini strips to line 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Top evenly with 1/3 of the sauce, & shredded cheese. Place 1/2 of the remaining zucchini strips on top, then 1/2 the sauce & cheese. Repeat this process one more time: using the layers.
Bake about 45-50 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble.
Let cool and serve.
