Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish.
- Layer cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese in the dish.
- Mix cooked and drained ground beef, oregano, basil, tomato paste, and 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the cheese layers.
- In a bowl, beat milk, eggs, Bisquick mix, salt, and pepper with a wire whisk until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the batter into the dish over the beef layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded Mozzarella cheese on top and return to the oven for a few minutes until melted and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider mixing in ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work just as well. To enhance flavors, add garlic powder or crushed red pepper to the beef mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these lasagne squares with a fresh green salad and garlic bread for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Italian Meatballs And Spaghetti Sauce for a hearty feast. You can also offer a side of steamed vegetables or a simple marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the lasagne squares ahead of time by assembling the dish and covering it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. If baking from the fridge, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Can I freeze Bisquick Lasagne Squares?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled but unbaked lasagne squares for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking. If you freeze leftovers, cut into portions and store in airtight containers; reheat as needed.
What can I substitute for ground beef?
You can easily substitute ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives for a vegetarian option. Using Italian sausage will add a nice flavor kick to the dish, while lentils or mushrooms can be used for a meatless version.
