Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Cheeses

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional topping: 1 cup shredded mozzarella or extra cheddar cheese

Pasta and Sauce

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups well-seasoned tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk or cream

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Favorite herbs (e.g., dried oregano, basil) to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, then drain excess fat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until soft and aromatic. Stir in crispy bacon bits and season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs to build a savory base.
  2. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk or cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated Parmesan and shredded cheddar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Layer noodles, then the meat mixture, followed by cheese sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous topping of mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a golden crust.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Use quality cheese such as freshly grated Parmesan and sharp cheddar for best flavor and melt.
  • Do not overcook noodles; al dente texture holds well after baking.
  • Drain meat well to prevent greasy lasagna.
  • Layer ingredients evenly for balanced flavor in every slice.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest 10-15 minutes before serving to set layers and improve slicing.
