Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lasagna noodles
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 lb bacon , cooked crisp and chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 large eg g
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Boil lasagna noodles in salted water according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef and onions until beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  4. Prepare the sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Whisk heavy cream and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese into the garlic butter. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine ricotta cheese with the egg and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley.
  7. Spread 1/2 cup of the garlic cream sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish and top with a layer of noodles.
  8. Layer half of the ricotta mixture, half of the beef mixture, 1/3 of the bacon, 1/3 of the cheddar, and 1/3 of the mozzarella.
  9. Repeat the layering process once more (noodles, ricotta, beef, bacon, cheddar, mozzarella).
  10. Add a final layer of noodles and top with the remaining garlic cream sauce, the remaining cheddar and mozzarella, the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan, and the remaining bacon bits.
  11. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  12. Garnish with the remaining parsley and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
