Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

Preparation:
This BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna combines the smoky flavors of a backyard barbecue with the hearty comfort of classic lasagna. Perfect for family dinners or potlucks, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to become a staple in your recipe collection.
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with diced onion over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the BBQ sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 3: Layer the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, create layers starting with 3 lasagna noodles, followed by half of the beef mixture, half the crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles.
Step 4: Top & Bake
Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon over the top layer. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and turn golden brown.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro. Slice and serve this delicious, smoky, and cheesy masterpiece to your eager guests!
Enjoy this BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna as a hearty main dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Pair it with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
