Ingredients

For the Meat Layer

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound 85% Lean ground beef
  • 1 Cup prepared marinara sauce
  • ¼ Cup diced celery
  • ¼ Cup diced red onion
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • kosher salt and pepper

For the Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 Cup shredded cheese, divided
  • ½ Cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

  • For the meat layer: Grease a 7.5 inch barrel cake pan (see note) with 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, marinara, celery, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Place the seasoned meat in the pan.
  • Place the pan in the air fryer basket, set the air to 375F for 10 minutes.  
  • For the Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, half the mozzarella, parmesan, lightly beaten eggs, italian seasoning, and minced garlic.  Stir until well blended.
  • At the end of the cooking time, spread the cheese mixture over the meat mixture.  Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella.  Set the air fryer to 375F for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling.  
  • At the end of the cooking time, use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat has reached an internal temperature of 160F.  
  • Drain the fat and liquid form the pan.  Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.  

Notes

  • I used a 24 ounce round Corningware dish which increased my cook time by 10 minutes.
