BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that combines the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the comfort of lasagna. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Prepare the Meat Sauce:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until softened.
- Stir in the BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
- Spoon a portion of the meat mixture over the noodles, then top with a sprinkle of bacon crumbles and a mix of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Repeat the layering process two more times: noodles, meat sauce, bacon, and cheese.
- Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and the rest of the cheese.
- Bake the Lasagna:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve:
- Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into it. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with a side salad or garlic bread.
