A bold and cheesy mash-up of classic bacon cheeseburger flavors layered into a comforting, hearty lasagna. Perfect for weeknights or casual dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 9-12 lasagna noodles (no-boil or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic in a bit of bacon grease until soft. Add ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and brown until fully cooked. Stir in diced tomatoes and simmer briefly.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, Parmesan, and 1 cup of mozzarella. Add a bit of garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
- In a greased baking dish, layer noodles, beef mixture, cheese blend, and crumbled bacon. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella on top.
- Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until top is golden and bubbly.
- Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Substitute ricotta or mascarpone for cream cheese if desired.
- Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
- Use BBQ sauce instead of tomatoes for a BBQ cheeseburger version.
- Freeze before or after baking—wrap well and store for up to 2 months.
