Meal Prep Freezer Lasagna

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onion.

Season the beef with ranch seasoning, oregano, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it is browned. Drain any excess grease.

While the meat is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef to create the meat sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, and egg. Mix until well combined.

To assemble the lasagnas, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of two large aluminum baking pans.

Arrange a single layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.

Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.

Repeat the layers: meat sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese, until the pans are full.

Finish with a final layer of meat sauce and a generous topping of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Cover the pans with lids, label with the date, and store in the freezer.
