# Detailed Cooking Steps:
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 Hints:
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.
