Ingredients
- 6 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried chives
- ⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded yellow and white marbled Cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain and pat noodles dry with paper towels.
- Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Pour pasta sauce into beef mixture and stir garlic powder, basil, parsley, chives, oregano, and nutmeg into beef and sauce.
- Spread half of the beef sauce into a 2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Lay a lasagna noodle out onto a lightly floured work surface and spread with 2 tablespoons cream cheese. Spread 2 tablespoons ground beef sauce onto noodle; roll noodle and place with seam side down atop cheese in casserole dish. Repeat with remaining noodles. Sprinkle remaining beef sauce and 1 cup Cheddar cheese over noodle rolls.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and sauce bubble, 10 to 15 minutes.
- I do 2 rolls per person. You can use whole wheat noodles instead of white. You can add your favorite veggies to the sauce mix. Low-fat cheese works too, or whatever your favorite cheese is.

OMG! This recipe is amazing! I substituted the beef with chorizo and added some cottage cheese to the mixture. I made 8 rolls and my SO inhaled 5 in one sitting!
Loved it!
I made this because I had an abundance of meat sauce leftover. I just used what I had at home which was regular full fat cream cheese and packaged shredded mexican cheese and we absolutely loved this recipe! I would give the cream cheese a stir before spreading it but I just used my fingers and it spread pretty good. I will share this recipe with my friends and coworkers. It’s a keeper – thank you for sharing it!
I put just a little of the plain pasta sauce,on bottom of casserole . Used enough of meat mixture to make 8 roll ups. Poured remaining sauce over the top. Used combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. The sauce for this dish was delicious. The cream cheese made these really rich.
It was easy and looked great. Everyone loved it and you can make it your own if you have some favourite ways to make your Lasagna.
It was delicious next time I need to add more sauce on top before baking, I also used ground turkey instead of beef
Amazing
I added some season salt, and used a little different sauce, and sharp cheddar mixed with mozzarella and it was delicious.
I added minced garlic with the onions and ground beef. I also added Italian sausage with ground beef. I used mozzarella instead with the cheese. Thought about doing ricotta instead of cream cheese…maybe try that next time. It was awesome!
Loved it! As with anything with sauce, we always add more:)
This was a hit!!! I undercooked the noodles slightly by 1 minute so they would be firm when rolling.
I made 12 roll-ups. Instead of cream cheese, used 1 container ricotta, 1/4 c. grated parm, s/p and 1 egg. Used Ground Beef, but Italian Sausage would be great, too! For sauce I used 3/4 jar of marinara with 1/4 jar of Alfredo. Upped the nutmeg to about 1/8 tsp. E ate it with some help, but A LOVED it!
These were good, but a little bland. I would try again, but kick up the spices.
My family loves lasagna and loves these lasagna roll ups. I loved how they were little individual lasagna. How ever fun these are (and they really are) it is easier just to make a pan of it.
very tastey. the whole family loved it
Very tasty – will make again, although a bit messy to work with!
Its great. I used a ricotta cottage cheese mixture instead of cream cheese.
I did use ricotta and just mozzarella cheese! My family LOVED IT and it was super simple to make and even easier to serve and clean up 🙂
I would make this again, personally I think it’s easier to make than a tray of Lasagna. I’m a vegetarian so I substituted the beef with faux meet crumble (I like morninstar). Next time I would make the meat sauce and cheese mix first and let them cool. Then while they are chilling in the fridge I would boil the pasta so that the ingredients are cold and easier to handle while rolling them up.
So I came across this recipe as I was looking up some lasagna recipes and thought, “hmm, lasagna roll ups?” and thought I’d take a shot at and to MY surprise it was a HUGE hit with my husband who isn’t a BIG noodle fan but boy was he in LOVE with these. kept complementing on them hours after we ate them and requested we eat the leftovers for dinner again tonight lol I did change the recipe a bit to mine and my husbands taste.. I wasn’t too sure on how having the cream cheese in it would taste and was worried we wouldn’t like it so I didn’t put it in mine. I didn’t have any of the spices so I just put what I had which was garlic salt with parsley leaves.. came out great. I cut up some onion and mixed it with the ground beef once it was done I drained and mixed in the sauce I used (Prego Fresh Mushroom) into the beef and mixed it (just as recipe said, too) But, before I rolled up the noodle with the beef mixture I added a pinch of shredded cheese and some chopped up olives into every roll. I did also spread a good amount of sauce onto the bottom of the pan I used only 12 noodles and with the rest of the beef mixture I spread it on top of the noodles and added the shredded cheese with olives (pictures provided) it was a delicious meal. I will be adding this to my monthly meals. I’m glad I took the shot.
Added some onion, spinach and bell pepper. I was curious to try the cream cheese in these, but for me I missed the texture of ricotta and they were very rich. However others in my family loved it as is.
