Meat Layers
-
1½ lb ground beef (80/20 works best)
-
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Cheese Layers
-
2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Optional (Still Carnivore)
-
1–2 tablespoons butter or beef tallow (for greasing)

1. Cook the meat

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season with salt only.

Drain excess grease if desired (leave some for flavor).
2. Prepare the ricotta layer (optional but recommended)
