Cabbage Lasagna (Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 1 pound green cabbage
- 2 pounds grass fed ground beef
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 cups marinara sauce divided
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cup mozzarella shredded, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt to pot once boiling. Cut the cabbage into quarters and cut the stem off and place into boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes or until outer leaves look translucent and tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
-
Cook ground beef in oil in a large skillet until browned completely. Add garlic, salt and pepper and 1 cup of marinara sauce. Set aside.
-
In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella (save the other cup for topping), eggs, seasonings and parmesan. Set aside.
To assemble in a 9 by 13 casserole dish:
-
Lay cabbage leaves to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread half the cheese mixture over the cabbage leaves.
-
Spread half the meat mixture over the cheese.
-
Lay more cabbage slices over the meat and repeat again with the rest of the cheese and meat mixture. Finish with the final slices of cabbage.
-
Top with 1 cup marinara sauce and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake 30 minutes covered then uncovered for 10 minutes. Give it a quick 5 minute broil if you like a crispier topping.

This recipe sounds wonderful! I can hardly wait to try it. I had some homemade Lasagna a couple nights ago where I needed to scrape away the meat, cheese, and marinara sauce from the pasta noodles. Not much left to my lasagna after that, so I really look forward to this new recipe. Thank you.
This was a BIG hit with my husband!!! The cabbage isn’t even detectable! You will never miss the pasta!! The cabbage adds a little sweetness to the dish!! I am so happy that Lasagna is back in my life!! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Thank you!
Brenda… this was delicious! Made it Friday night and enjoyed it all throughout the weekend!

Thank you so much! So happy you all liked it! Happy New Year!
What are you supposed to do with the Avocado Cooking Oil? Use it to to brown the meat?
step 3
Hi Brenda, I’ m a cooking novice and also wondered about the oil. I know you mentioned Step 3, is to be poored on each layer? If so, On the cabbage or meat?
In step 3 (not step 3 of assembly) you are cooking the ground beef in the oil until the beef is completely browned.
This is amazing! Everyone in my family loved it! Your recipes are the best, Sugar Fee Mom 🙂
Brenda, any idea for the egg substitute, hubby can’t tolerate eggs they make him sick to his stomach?
