🌟 DIABETIC-FRIENDLY CABBAGE LASAGNA 🌟 All the cozy, cheesy lasagna vibes… without the traditional pasta! 🍝➡️🥬 This lower-carb version swaps noodles for cabbage while keeping it packed with protein and flavor. 🤤 🛒 INGREDIENTS: 🥬 1 whole cabbage, quartered 🥩 1 lb 95% lean ground beef 🌶️ 1 tsp paprika 🧅 1 tsp onion powder 🍗 1 tsp chicken bouillon 🌿 1 tsp Italian seasoning 🧂 ½ tsp salt 🖤 ½ tsp black pepper 🍅 1 (24 oz) jar tomato-basil sauce — I used Carbone 🥣 1 cup reduced-fat cottage cheese 🥚 1 egg 🧀 ⅓ cup grated Parmesan 🧀 1 cup shredded mozzarella 🔥 INSTRUCTIONS: 1️⃣ Boil the quartered cabbage for 3 minutes, then drain and carefully separate the leaves. 2️⃣ Brown the ground beef and season with paprika, onion powder, chicken bouillon, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. 3️⃣ Stir in the tomato-basil sauce and simmer for a few minutes. 4️⃣ Mix the cottage cheese, egg, and Parmesan in a bowl. 5️⃣ Layer the cabbage, meat sauce, and cottage cheese mixture in a 9x13 baking dish. Repeat until everything is used. 6️⃣ Top with shredded mozzarella. 🧀 7️⃣ Bake uncovered at 400°F for 30 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden on top. 🔥 8️⃣ Let it rest for a few minutes, slice into 8 pieces, and enjoy! 😍 💡 TIP: Cabbage releases quite a bit of liquid while baking! I like using a turkey baster to remove the excess liquid from the baking dish after it comes out of the oven. This helps keep your lasagna from getting watery. 🙌 📊 ESTIMATED MACROS — 1 of 8 slices: 🔥 ~310 calories 💪 ~24g protein 🥑 ~15g fat 🍅 ~11g carbs 🌾 ~2–3g fiber ➡️ ~8–9g net carbs Save this one for your next comfort-food craving! 💚 #CabbageLasagna #LowCarbRecipes #DiabeticFriendlyRecipes #HighProteinRecipes #HealthyComfortFood
