12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
1 lb ground beef
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain fat.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).
Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, Parmesan, and crumbled bacon.
Spread a little marinara on the bottom of a 9×13″ baking dish.
Layer noodles, meat sauce, bacon-ranch mix, mozzarella. Repeat until done.
Top with mozzarella. Cover with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, bake another 10 minutes.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook Noodles Just Right: Boil the lasagna noodles until just al dente (firm to the bite). This prevents them from getting mushy while baking.
Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare the whole lasagna a day in advance, store it in the fridge, and just bake when ready. It actually tastes even better after the flavors sit overnight!
Crispy Bacon Boost: Use thick-cut bacon for an extra crispy texture and smoky flavor that stands out in every bite.
Cheese Swap Option: Love it creamier? Try adding a little ricotta cheese between layers or use a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for more cheeseburger flair.
Garlic Lovers’ Secret: For an extra garlic punch, roast a head of garlic and mash it into the sauce before layering.
Freezing Tip: Assemble but don’t bake if freezing. Wrap tightly and freeze. When ready, thaw overnight and bake as directed.
Let It Rest: Don’t skip the resting time after baking. It helps the lasagna hold its shape when sliced and makes serving easier.
