Instructions
Creating the Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
3. Brown the Beef: Drain some of the bacon fat, then add the ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
5. Mix Sauces: Pour in the marinara sauce, mixing well. Add the crispy bacon, then set aside to cool slightly.
6. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
7. Cook Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
8. Layering: In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Lay three lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture and half of the remaining meat sauce.
9. Repeat Layers: Layer three more noodles, the other half of the ricotta mixture, and the remaining meat sauce. Top with the last three noodles.
10. Top with Cheese: Finish by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
11. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
12. Cool and Serve: Allow the lasagna to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the layers set and make serving easier.
