Easy Gluten Free Lasagna Bowls

I'm constantly on a quest for new gluten free meal ideas.  There are plenty of gluten free pastas out there.  Some I have found are quite good, the others are a little mushy in texture.  Thankfully my family trudges right along with me and eats mushy GF pasta when they have to.  Occasionally it's just easier to omit some ingredients all together with an equally tasty result. That's how these Easy Gluten Free Lasagna Bowls were born.  Basically they are all of the yummy lasagna ingredients, minus the noodles, layered in a bowl.  My family enjoyed their servings with toasted garlic bread.  If you've got a good gluten free bread you enjoy, that would be a great accompaniment to this dish, but definitely not necessary.  The ingredients are delicious and hearty enough to satisfy on their own.  Whether you eat gluten free or not, these lasagna bowls are so simple to prepare they are sure to be a definite crowd pleaser!


Easy Gluten Free Lasagna Bowls

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 (24 ounce) jar prepared spaghetti sauce (choose your favorite)
ricotta cheese
freshly grated mozzarella cheese

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef.  Drain off any fat and season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if desired) and salt and pepper.  Set aside to keep warm.  In a saucepan over medium heat, warm up the spaghetti sauce.  Layer the sauce and ground beef in bowls.  Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese and top with a dollop of ricotta.  Serve with crusty bread or crusty gluten free bread if desired.  Makes approximately 4 servings.

Prep Time:  Approximately 10 minutes     Cook Time: Approximately 10 minutes
