Instructions
Creating Lasagna Meets Cheeseburger – Parmesan Garlic Bacon Style can be fun and straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Flavors: Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
4. Prepare Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
6. Layer the Dish: In a baking dish, start layering: spread a thin layer of marinara sauce, add noodles, beef mixture, dollops of ricotta mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles and remaining meat sauce.
7. Top It Off: Sprinkle the top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake: Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Rest: Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting to help it hold its shape.
10. Garnish: Serve slices hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
