50 minThis lasagna skips the noodles entirely and uses a biscuit baking mix batter as the base instead. It sounds unconventional, but it works: the batter bakes up into a soft, bready layer that holds up under all that meaty sauce and melted cheese.
Ground beef and onions get cooked with spaghetti sauce, oregano, and parsley. The batter is a quick mix of Bisquick, cottage cheese, Parmesan, and milk, spread into the pan and layered with shredded zucchini and mozzarella.
It feeds a crowd of 15, which makes it ideal for potlucks, game day, or any time you need to feed a lot of people without a lot of fuss.
Kitchen Tips
- Don’t worry about perfectly even batter layers. You’re dropping the second layer by teaspoonfuls, and it all spreads and merges in the oven. Imperfection is fine.
- Squeeze the shredded zucchini dry. Just like with regular lasagna, excess moisture from the zucchini will make the bottom soggy.
- Let it rest 10 minutes before cutting. The layers need time to set so your slices hold together on the plate.
Variations
- Turkey version: Swap the ground beef for ground turkey for a lighter take with the same big flavor.
- Extra veggie: Layer in sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers with the zucchini for a more loaded pan.
