Low Carb Lasagne

Greetings from Toronto -- where I am visiting for business. I love this city. Given the cold weather, there is nothing like delicious comfort food to make us all feel better. My husband and I love this dish below -- it is essentially lasagne without the noodles. I know it sounds gross but it is quite good and really easy to make. It is a good dish to have when you are craving Italian food or something that will really fill you up on a cold day.

Low Carb Lasagna
Ingredients:
30 oz ricotta; 1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of parmesan cheese; 3 eggs; 2 ½ pounds of ground beef; salt and pepper; garlic powder; 15 oz can of sugar-free tomato sauce (Hunts is a good option); Italian spices (oregano, basil, fennel , to taste).
Mix the ricotta and 3 eggs in a bowl. Put aside. Brown ground beef. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, tomato sauce and Italian spices to taste. Let simmer. Lightly grease large pan with butter. Layer ground beef mixture on the bottom. Add a layer of mozzarella. Add layer of ricotta. Top entire pan with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
