Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 6–8 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 12 Lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 cup Tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once they’re al dente, drain and set aside. You can chant “lasagna magic” while you wait for the water to boil; I promise it helps! 😉
- Prepare the Meat Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until it’s beautifully browned. Drain the excess fat, then stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, and try not to eat it straight from the skillet—it’s tempting!
- Make the Parmesan Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the cream cheese with the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic, stirring until it’s creamy and luscious. This sauce is like a warm hug for your lasagna!
- Layer It Up: In a baking dish, start with a thin layer of the meat sauce. Then, add a layer of noodles, followed by meat sauce, crumbled bacon, and a generous dollop of that heavenly Parmesan garlic sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese, and repeat until you’ve used all your ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top. The more cheese, the better! Trust me on this one. 😄
- Bake: Cover your delicious creation with foil and bake it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden. Your kitchen will smell extraordinary, and maybe even the neighbors will come knocking!
- Serve: Let your lasagna cool for about 10 minutes—this will help the layers set and make it much easier to slice. Then dig in and watch everyone go back for seconds (or thirds!).
Notes
- Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic! As it bakes, everything will come together beautifully.
- Feel free to mix up the meats! If ground beef isn’t your thing, ground turkey or even chicken works wonderfully in this recipe.
- Make it ahead: You can assemble this dish a day ahead; just cover it tightly and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Hello, dinner prep!
