Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt and black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Drain any excess fat.
- Make the cheeseburger sauce: Stir in marinara sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the ricotta layer: In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan, and half the chopped parsley until smooth.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom, then add a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by more meat sauce.
- Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese and crumbled turkey bacon.
- Bake the lasagna: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve warm.
