Ingredients
4 servings
- •1 pound lean ground beef
- •0.5 teaspoon salt
- •0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •1 tablespoon avocado oil
- •0.5 cup minced onion
- •1 teaspoon minced garlic
- •1.5 cups marinara sauce
- •0.5 cup ricotta cheese, drained

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Add ground beef to a skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes. Remove to a strainer and set aside.
- Pour oil into the same skillet and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Return beef to the skillet. Pour in marinara sauce, mix to combine, and turn off heat.
- Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and egg together in a bowl.
- Place meat mixture in an 8x8-inch oven-safe casserole dish. Spread cheese mixture over meat and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is golden brown and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving
