Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat Sauce:
   • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
   • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent.
   • Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cheese Filling:

3. Prepare the Dough:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • Add almond flour, baking powder, egg, garlic powder, and onion powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Assemble the Lasagna Bombs:

   • Place a spoonful of the meat sauce in the center of each dough circle, followed by a spoonful of the cheese filling.
