Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 1⁄2 lbs. ground lamb
  • 1⁄2 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper

  • 1⁄2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 3⁄4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
