Description

The Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is a decadent, flavor-packed dish that blends the smoky richness of bacon, the tang of ranch dressing, and the hearty satisfaction of cheeseburger-inspired layers.

Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles, cooked

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

Instructions

In a skillet, brown ground beef with garlic. Drain excess fat and mix in marinara sauce.

Combine ranch dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon in a bowl.

In a baking dish, layer noodles, beef mixture, bacon ranch sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella on top.

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions:
- Ground turkey or chicken can replace ground beef for a lighter option.
- Use gluten-free lasagna noodles or dairy-free cheeses to accommodate dietary needs.
- For vegetarians, substitute the meat with plant-based crumbles or mushrooms and opt for vegan bacon.
Cooking Tips:
- For crispy bacon, cook it on a wire rack over a baking sheet in the oven.
- Pre-cooking the lasagna noodles slightly under al dente prevents overcooking during baking.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with garlic bread or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra flavor and visual appeal.
