Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie pan or deep-dish baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, and baking powder until smooth. This will serve as the magic crust batter.

Step 7

Spread half of the meat sauce evenly in the greased pie pan.

Step 8

Layer the ricotta mixture on top of the meat sauce, spreading it gently to cover evenly.

Step 9

Top with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese and the rest of the Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Gently pour the batter mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie pan, ensuring it fully covers everything.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center.

Step 12

Remove the lasagna pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
