Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is brown and drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and half of the chopped parsley.
- Start assembling the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, and then another layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top and sprinkling crumbled turkey bacon over the last layer.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until it’s golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap ground beef for turkey and use cottage cheese instead of ricotta.
