BS Lasagna

Here's my take on BS (butternut squash) lasagna. It looks really messy, but it's super tasty... :)

Adapted from the following: http://www.health-bent.com/beef/paleo-butternut-squash-lasagna

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs. ground beef
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 cup water
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 2 tsp. oregano
• 2 tsp. basil
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 large OR 2 small butternut squash

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. In a stock pot (or large pan), brown the ground beef. 
3. While browning the beef, peel your butternut squash. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, chop into 1/4 inch thick slices (or thinner if you like...I like mine chunky). 
4. When the meat is done, use some of the drippings to lightly coat a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish (to prevent sticking). Drain the remaining fat from the beef. 
5. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, spices (oregano, basil, salt), and 1 cup water to the ground beef. Stir to coat. 
6. Place a layer of the butternut squash down in the greased baking dish. Top with the ground beef/tomato mixture. Repeat until everything is used...ending with a layer of ground beef on the top. 
7. Bake in a 400F oven for about 45 minutes...until the squash is soft (a fork should be able to go in/out smoothly). 
8. Let sit for 10 minutes and serve.
