Equipment
- 13x9-inch Glass Baking Dish
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb lean ground beef at least 80%
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 can chunky tomato sauce 28 oz
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 container ricotta cheese 15 oz
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese 4 oz
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 8 slices bacon cooked crispy and crumbled (1/2 cup)
- 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 8 oz
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. In a skillet, cook the ground beef, onions, salt, and pepper over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until browned; drain excess fat. Add the tomato sauce and water, bringing it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and mix in the ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese, parsley, and 1/4 cup of crumbled bacon.
- Spread about 1 cup of the beef mixture in the baking dish. Layer with 4 uncooked noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, 2 cups of beef mixture, and 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, starting with 4 noodles. Finish with the remaining noodles, beef mixture, Cheddar cheese, and bacon. Cover with foil (sprayed side down) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
