Prep Time: 30-40 minutes

Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

3-4 medium sweet potatoes, sliced in the form of chips + water for boiling

1 can tomato sauce

1 tbls Italian seasoning

1 tbls olive oil

1 lbs ground meat (beef, bison, chicken or turkey)

8 mushrooms sliced

2-4 c fresh spinach

2 c shredded cheese

Method:

1.  Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Boil the sliced sweet potatoes in a medium sauce pan in water for about 25-30 minutes until soft. Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and set aside.

2.  While the sweet potatoes are boiling, cook the ground meat in a medium sized skillet using a spatula to break it up into small pieces (like taco meat) until thoroughly cooked. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

3. Mix the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and olive oil in a small bowl until combined and set aside.

Now it’s time to assemble the lasagna.

4. Layer the bottom of an oven safe casserole dish or rectangular glass baking dish with a single layer of sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes can overlap to cover the entire bottom of the baking dish.

5. Put a layer of tomato sauce on top of the layer of sweet potatoes. Add a layer of meat, mushrooms, spinach and cheese.

6. Repeat step 4 until either the baking dish is full or you’re out of ingredients.

7. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.

8. Check on the lasagna after 25 minutes to see if the cheese is melted to your liking. If not, cook for another five minutes or until it’s done to your liking.

9. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool a bit for about 5-10 minutes.

10. Enjoy freshly baked or save it for a later date in the fridge or freezer.
