Categories     Beef

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 lasagna noodles
70 pepperoni rounds
1/2 c shredded parmesan cheese
1 lb ground beef
4 clove garlic minced
salt and pepper
1/4 c dry red wine
24 oz spaghetti sauce
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
fresh basil

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the lasagna noodles in salted boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and lay out on parchment paper. Place 5 pepperoni pieces on each noodle. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • 2. Place the ground beef in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until beef is almost done. Add the wine and let most evaporate.
  • 3. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Spoon some sauce in bottom of a 9x15 pan. With a slotted spoon, spoon meat sauce on each lasagna noodle.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Season the meat generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overmix the meat mixture, or the pepperoni will be tough.
  • Use a meat grinder with a fine plate to grind the meat.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can chop the meat very finely by hand.
  • Form the pepperoni into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Place the pepperoni balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the pepperoni at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
