There’s something magical about the moment your fork slices into a bubbling, golden layer of lasagna, revealing savory layers beneath. Now, imagine all that coziness wrapped in the flavor of a bacon cheeseburger. Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna brings two of life’s most comforting meals together—melty layers of noodles, creamy parmesan garlic sauce, seasoned ground beef, and crispy bacon crumbles on top. This hearty dish feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening, the kind that turns an ordinary dinner into a celebration of indulgence.

This recipe was born from the idea of mixing the classic cheeseburger flavors we all love—beef, bacon, cheddar, and garlic—with the rich, creamy textures of traditional lasagna. It’s a dish that satisfies both cravings at once: the heartiness of an Italian favorite and the smoky depth of a backyard burger. Perfect for family gatherings, cozy weekend dinners, or when you just need something deliciously over-the-top.

Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove, crumble, and set aside. Drain most of the fat but leave a tablespoon in the pan.
Add the ground beef and onion to the skillet. Cook until browned and fragrant. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Drain excess grease.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux, then slowly whisk in milk and cream until smooth. Stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add parmesan cheese and garlic powder to the sauce. Stir until melted and creamy. Remove from heat.
In your baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce. Add a layer of noodles, followed by beef mixture, cheddar, mozzarella, and more sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Tips & Tricks:

Use thick-cut bacon for a bold smoky flavor that complements the creamy sauce beautifully.
Mix in a little cream cheese for extra richness if you prefer an ultra-creamy texture.
For an added kick, sprinkle in a bit of crushed red pepper or smoked paprika into the beef layer.

Variations:

Spicy Cheeseburger Lasagna: Add diced jalapeños and pepper jack cheese for a little heat.
Low-Carb Version: Swap the noodles for zucchini or eggplant slices.
BBQ Twist: Stir a spoonful of BBQ sauce into the beef mixture for a smoky-sweet note.
