Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef with minced garlic over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
- Add marinara sauce to the beef mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Mix ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon in a separate bowl.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Lay 3 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread a layer of the beef sauce, followed by the bacon ranch mixture, and then a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter dish, substitute ground turkey for beef and use turkey bacon. Gluten-free noodles or low-carb zucchini slices can replace lasagna noodles. Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze before the final bake for up to 2 months. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. If your lasagna turns out watery, allow it to rest after baking so the layers firm up. Drain the beef thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
