Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 250°Fahrenheit.
  • Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, the egg, and fresh basil.
  • Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch aluminum foil pan. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
  • Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of meat sauce.
  • Repeat layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pan in the preheated smoker and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the lasagna is heated through and the flavors have melded.
  • Remove the foil and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
  • Remove from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

- Foil Cover: The lasagna is covered with foil for most of the cooking time to retain moisture. Removing the foil earlier or later could affect moisture retention and browning of the cheese.
- Resting Time: The lasagna is rested for 10 minutes post-smoking to let the juices redistribute. 
-Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
