Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
Cheeses
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Pasta
- 9 lasagna noodles
Sauce and Seasonings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon and Ground Beef: Crisp the bacon in a large skillet until golden and crunchy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Using the same skillet, brown the ground beef with diced onions and minced garlic, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté extra garlic until fragrant. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Boil the Lasagna Noodles: Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Layers: In a greased baking dish, spread a thin layer of garlic Parmesan sauce. Layer noodles, beef and bacon mixture, shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat until ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- Drain excess fat from beef and bacon to avoid a greasy lasagna.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
- Boil noodles just until al dente as they cook further in the oven.
- Spread ingredients evenly to ensure balanced flavors in every slice.
- Allow lasagna to rest 10-15 minutes after baking for easier slicing.
