Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Sauce

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Lasagna and Cheese Mixture

  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the meat mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are tender. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasy lasagna.
  2. Combine sauce ingredients: Add the marinara sauce, beef broth, and crumbled cooked bacon to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  3. Prepare ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  4. Assemble the lasagna layers: In a greased baking dish, start with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture, then the beef sauce, and sprinkle with a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Repeat the layers once more.
  5. Finish layering: Top the final layer with remaining noodles, spread the remaining beef sauce over them, and cover with the rest of the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses.
  6. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes to ensure thorough cooking and warming.
  7. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, melted, and golden brown on top.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove the lasagna from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes to set, garnish with fresh parsley, slice into portions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use no-boil lasagna noodles for a quicker assembly, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • For a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon or add a pinch of smoked paprika in the beef sauce.
  • Letting the lasagna rest after baking allows it to set and makes slicing easier.
  • Substitute beef broth with red wine or vegetable broth for a different depth of flavor.
  • To reduce fat, use lean ground beef and lower-fat cheese options.
