2.  Take everything out of the fridge.
3.  Turn oven on to 400.  Line a baking sheet with foil.

That’s it!  Now sit back and enjoy rave reviews.

The Scoop:

I tried to break this down so it would be easy to make in parts then just assemble.  I know it can look like a lot but if you just do each one at different times it will make your life very pleasant.

  Oh man!  This is really good and easy to eat and fun for everyone.  It’s also Paleo and Gluten-free so a lot of people will want to make this because, to me, it’s as good as lasagna made with noodles.  The caveat to that is that I’ve been pretty much wheat-free for most of 2013 so I don’t miss having the starch.  I’ve made lasagna with zucchini noodles and I like that as well but this is so – compact and fits well on a plate.  You are going to need 4 things to assemble the lasagna:  The cheese filling, the meat filling, the peppers and shredded cheese for melting on top.  The key is to prepare the first 3 ahead of time.  Like a day or so ahead of time.  Each one is easy to make but if you do them all on the same cooking shift you might think this is difficult just because of the different steps.  Work smart and you’ll enjoy cooking more.
