Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup crispy cooked Turkey Bacon, crumbled
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ cup grated Parmesan (for topping)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the meat sauce: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook briefly before adding marinara sauce and crumbled turkey bacon. Season and simmer for 10 minutes.
Make the béchamel: Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, then gradually add milk while stirring until thickened. Mix in Parmesan cheese and garlic powder; season to taste.
Assemble the lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Layer meat sauce, cooked noodles, béchamel, mozzarella, and cheddar in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with cheese on top.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
