A mouthwatering Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna combining classic lasagna layers with savory ground beef, crispy bacon, rich Parmesan garlic béchamel, and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses for a comforting and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meat Sauce:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Parmesan Garlic Béchamel:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For Assembly:

  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the marinara sauce, crumbled bacon, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 10 minutes to meld the flavors. Set aside once done.
  2. Make the Parmesan Garlic Béchamel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the whole milk and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  3. Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of the prepared meat sauce. Lay down a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by a layer of the Parmesan garlic béchamel sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the béchamel. Repeat these layers — meat sauce, noodles, béchamel, cheeses — finishing with a cheese layer on top. Sprinkle the top layer with grated Parmesan cheese and optionally, fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
  4. Bake and Rest: Cover the assembled lasagna with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving to ensure clean cuts and optimal flavor.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor and juiciness.
  • Cooking the lasagna noodles al dente ensures they finish cooking perfectly in the oven without becoming mushy.
  • If you prefer less salty dish, reduce added salt since bacon and cheeses add natural saltiness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smokier flavor, opt for smoked bacon and smoked paprika.
  • Fresh parsley is optional, but adds a nice pop of color and freshness.
