Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound lasagna noodles, uncooked
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spread half of the uncooked lasagna noodles in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread half of the meat sauce mixture over the noodles.
  6. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat sauce.
  7. Repeat the layers: remaining noodles, remaining meat sauce, remaining bacon, and remaining cheddar cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
  11. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier bacon, cook it in a separate pan until it reaches your desired crispness before crumbling.
  • You can make this casserole ahead of time. Assemble it completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
