Ingredients
- 1 pack lasagna noodles or cannelloni (pre-cooked or oven-ready)
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or a cheese blend)
Optional toppings (not counted in the 3 main ingredients):
- Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
- Additional shredded cheese for topping
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs if desired. - Mix with Cheese:
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until well combined and slightly melted. - Prepare the Noodles or Cannelloni:
- If using lasagna noodles, boil them according to the package directions until soft. Drain and cool slightly.
- If using oven-ready cannelloni, no need to pre-cook.
- Fill and Roll or Stuff:
- For lasagna noodles, place a spoonful of the beef-cheese mixture on each noodle and roll it up.
- For cannelloni, stuff each tube with the beef-cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
- Arrange and Top:
Place the filled noodles or cannelloni in a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top and add herbs if desired. - Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tip: You can serve it with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete healthy meal!
