Low Carb Alternative to Lasagna

Cris here.

My family has always been a BIG fan of lasagna. We LOVE the alternating cheesy and meaty layers. SO. GOOD. But, since going low carb, we have had to skip out on this favorite dish. That is until I saw an idea in Keto Comfort Foods. In the cookbook, she uses a special secret ingredient to help form layers in her BBQ Chicken Lasagna… it got me thinking I could do the same with one of our favorite lasagna recipes. And the results actually got cheers from my family. This is one that will be in regular rotation for a long time.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not lasagna. It is a low carb casserole that brings together the delicious flavors of lasagna BUT it does not include lasagna noodles. With that said, I do believe carb lovers will still love this dish. However, if you are NOT eating low carb and are looking for noodles, check out these yummy tried and true crock pot lasagna recipes we have used for years:

Low Carb Crock Pot Lasagna Casserole Notes

• This recipe uses an idea we adapted from one of our favorite low carb cookbooks: Keto Comfort Foods — seriously LOVE this book!
• If you are looking for other low carb recipes, you can find them all here.
• We used our casserole crock pot for this recipe, but you can use a traditional 6 quart slow cooker and get similar results.
• We have made this with 1 lb of sausage and again with 2 lbs. Choose how much sausage based on how meaty you would like your sauce.
• While this dish is yummy right after cooking, it will fall apart, much like a typical lasagna recipe. And, like traditional lasagnas, for best results, let the casserole cool for at least an hour to make it more sliceable. Setting overnight in the fridge after cooking will produce even better slices. Just slice and reheat in microwave.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
