Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
  • 1 pound Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off excess fat.
  3. Add the olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the Velveeta cheese, milk, and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every minute, until smooth and melted.
  7. Stir the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the Velveeta mixture until well combined.
  8. Spread half of the marinara-ground beef mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  9. Layer 6 uncooked lasagna noodles over the meat sauce.
  10. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
  11. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon over the cheese layer.
  12. Repeat the layers: remaining meat sauce, remaining noodles, remaining cheese mixture, and remaining bacon.
  13. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbly and the noodles are tender.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier bacon, cook it in a separate skillet until desired crispness before adding to the lasagna.
  • You can make this casserole ahead of time. Assemble it completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time if baking from chilled.
  • If you don’t have Velveeta, you can substitute with another processed cheese like American cheese for a similar melty texture.
