Ingredients
Scale
- 900 g lean ground beef
- 8 slices cooked bacon, cut into large pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 cans (297 g each) condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 240 ml whole milk
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 can (297 g) condensed cream of bacon soup
- 425 g ricotta cheese
- 340 g shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package oven-ready lasagna noodles
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 190°C. Prepare a half sheet pan (46 x 33 cm).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, breaking apart while cooking. Add diced onion and sauté until beef is fully browned and onions are softened. Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, onion powder, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
- Spread one-third of cheddar mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared sheet pan. Arrange a single layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese and condensed cream of bacon soup. Stir until fully blended.
- Spoon half of ricotta mixture over noodles, spreading evenly. Top with half of the cooked beef mixture and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Arrange another layer of noodles. Spread remaining ricotta mixture, then pour the rest of the cheddar mixture over the noodles, spreading evenly.
- Distribute remaining cooked ground beef evenly. Cover sheet pan tightly with aluminium foil.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and discard foil. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon pieces evenly over the top.
- Return pan to oven, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes until cheese is deeply melted and golden on top.
- Remove lasagna from oven and allow to rest for several minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.
