Trisha Yearwood’s Cowboy lasagna the way the recipe is written is pretty high in points. With just a few changes you can help lower the points by quite a bit just using extra lean ground beef or turkey pepperoni. If you aren’t following WW just make this recipe as written.
Ground Beef - use 93% or 96% lean ground beef, can also use ground turkey
Sausage - Turkey sausage instead of regular or pork
Pepperoni - use turkey
Ricotta Cheese, Mozzarella, and Parmesan - try and find a low-fat or fat-free version cheese

I made this tonight. I used 2 lbs of ground beef since i'm not a sausage fan. It was amazing! I never would have thought to add pepperoni to lasagna, it was fantastic. This will be my go-to lasagna recipe from now on. And it was super simple to make. Thank you for sharing!
Jenna says
Nope, no need for that!
Aaron says
Looks amazing! I was just telling my wife we need to make a lasagna. My question is do you strain the Mar before adding the tomato paste, etc.?
Jenna says
Yes they were!
Liz Potts says
Were you noodles cooked before layering?
Jenna says
Thanks, I didn't know that!
Sherri says
For a great picture, you need to partially freeze the lasagna, cut a piece and warm up slowly in the microwave. Should look great.
Jenna says
I would let the lasagna cool after you get done layering it and then freeze it.
jenny says
I want to freze this for later. Do you freee it before you bake it or after
Abigail says
