Bacon Garlic Lasagna with Parmesan (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 pasta sheets for lasagna
02 - 1 lb minced beef
03 - 8 pieces crispy bacon, broken into bits
04 - 1 small onion, chopped
05 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
06 - 2 cups grated mozzarella
07 - 1 cup grated cheddar
08 - 1 ½ cups whipping cream
09 - ¾ cup grated Parmesan
10 - 1 tsp table salt
11 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
12 - 1 tbsp cooking butter
13 - 1 tsp mixed Italian herbs

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Boil the pasta sheets as the pack says, drain them, and put them aside.
02 - Melt butter in a big pan on medium heat, then cook onion and garlic until they're soft.
03 - Throw in the minced beef and cook until it's no longer pink. Pour off any extra fat.
04 - Mix in your Italian herbs, salt, and pepper with the meat.
05 - Put whipping cream, Parmesan, and cheddar in a pot on low heat, and stir until it's all smooth.
06 - In a deep oven dish, put down pasta sheets, then meat mix, bacon bits, mozzarella, and pour some cheese sauce.
07 - Keep making layers until you've used everything up, with mozzarella on the very top.
08 - Wrap with aluminum foil and stick it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes.
09 - Take off the foil and bake another 15-20 minutes until the cheese turns golden.
10 - Let it sit for 10 minutes before you cut and serve it.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Add spoonfuls of ricotta between layers for extra creaminess.
02 - Ground turkey works great instead of beef if you want something lighter.
03 - Ready-made bacon bits can save you time instead of cooking bacon.
