Instructions
Instructions
Start by cooking bacon in the skillet till crispy, then drain and crumble.
Cook ground beef with onions and garlic till brown, then drain fat and add ketchup and mustard. Cook a few minutes more and set aside.
Boil water and cook your lasagna noodles just under al dente, drain, rinse cold.
Mix ricotta with eggs, crumbled bacon, parsley, salt, pepper, and shredded jack cheese.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish then start layering: a bit tomato sauce, 4 noodles overlapping, a third of ricotta mix, half American cheese slices.
Layer noodles, half the meat mixture, half the shredded cheddar, and more tomato sauce.
Repeat layers finishing with noodles, meat, ricotta, sauce, and shredded cheddar on top.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 F then cover and let lasagna rest 20 mins before slicing.
Notes
This lasagna holds up real good after cooking. Just make sure you keep it sealed well to avoid drying out. When reheating, slow steam loosens it up and keeps gooey cheese happy.
