Ingredients
Scale
12 lasagna noodles
1 lb ground beef
6 slices of bacon, chopped
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add ground beef, onion, and garlic; cook until the beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture; stir to combine.
In a baking dish, spread a layer of the beef mixture, followed by a layer of noodles, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and bacon. Repeat layers, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
Can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
