Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (680 g) lean (at least 80%) ground beef
- 2 medium onions, chopped (1 cup (240 ml))
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 1/8 teaspoon (1 ml) pepper
- 1 can (28 oz (794 g)) chunky tomato sauce
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 egg
- 1 container (15 oz (425 g)) ricotta cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz (113 g))
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh parsley
- 8 slices turkey bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled (1/2 cup (120 ml))
- 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 2 cup (480 ml) s shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz (227 g))
Instructions
- Coat a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a 12-inch skillet, brown the beef and onions with salt and pepper over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring every so often; then drain the excess fat.
- Add the tomato sauce and water to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg using a fork. Mix in the ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese, parsley, and 1/4 cup of the crumbled bacon.
- Spread around 1 cup of the beef mixture in the prepared baking dish. Layer with 4 uncooked lasagna noodles. Evenly distribute half of the ricotta mixture, followed by 2 cups of the beef mixture and 3/4 cup of the Cheddar cheese over the noodles.
- Repeat the layering process once more, starting with 4 more noodles. For the final layer, top with the remaining noodles, beef mixture, Cheddar cheese, and the rest of the bacon.
- Spray a 15-inch sheet of foil with cooking spray and cover the lasagna with it, sprayed side facing down. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but no more than 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the covered dish for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for about 30 more minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Cover the dish and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
