Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Proteins

  • 1 lb high-quality lean ground beef
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon

Pasta

  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles

Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup sliced dill pickles

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon and beef: Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain. In the same skillet, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the beef and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Prepare the sauce: Stir in tomato sauce, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to blend all flavors while preparing cheese and noodles.
  3. Layer the lasagna: Grease a baking dish. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Cover with lasagna noodles. Add a layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and a few pickle slices on top. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous cheese topping.
  4. Bake to perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let the lasagna cool for several minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Don’t skip crisp bacon for perfect texture contrast.
  • Use no-boil noodles to simplify preparation and enhance sauce absorption.
  • Add ketchup and mustard directly to the meat sauce to capture authentic cheeseburger flavor.
  • Let the lasagna rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better flavor melding.
  • Freeze leftovers in portions wrapped securely for up to 3 months.
