05 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

08 4 tablespoons butter
09 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

16 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
17 1/2 cup (50 g) ricotta cheese (optional)
18 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 01

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Cook until the onion softens. Stir in crumbled bacon, season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Step 02

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until thickened. Remove from heat, then stir in Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 03

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 04

Spread a thin layer of Parmesan garlic sauce at the bottom of the dish. Add 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Layer a third of the meat mixture, drizzle with Parmesan garlic sauce, and sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 05

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 06

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  1. For extra flavor, add sliced pickles between the layers to enhance the cheeseburger taste.
  2. Prepare the lasagna in advance and refrigerate. If baking from cold, add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time.
  3. This lasagna pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
