With both bacon and ground beef, this hearty dish is a real crowd-pleaser. The recipe came from my grandmother, now in her 80s. I've learned so much from helping her in the kitchen. —Cathy McCartney, Davenport, Iowa

This has been a family favorite ever since I made it. It is fast, easy and delicious! We call it the bacon cheeseburger lasagna.

This was good, and I'll make it again, but not on a regular basis.

This recipe is one of my family's favorites! It's not nearly as time-consuming as a regular lasagna, and my kids love the bacon and Colby flavors together as a delicious change! We had one of my son's friends to dinner tonight, and he made me promise to share the recipe with his mom! Yum!

Very greasy and thus rich for a dinner dish.

This recipe was delicious. A co-worker ate 3 plates (so far). I made it with ground turkey instead of ground beef. Really delicious.

My family loved this! I will be making this again. I did use the noodles that are no-cook, but they were a bit too crunchy around the edges. Next time I will be cooking the noodles before-hand.

This had a very nice flavor.

Keeper! Next time I will use a lb. of sweet sausage instead.

Recipe sounds delicious to me, if a little fattening cut back on calories tomorrow or take a long walk.

This looks great... Will try asap...Not only that but if you "springboard" off this and hold back the sauce, tomatoes and noodles and add 1 dozen eggs you would have one heck of a Fritta..

Why indeed.

Why would someone write a comment about a comment when the comments are supposed to be about the recipe. What's the point of that other than to be snarky?

Sounds absolutely, delicious, however; I will be unable to try it......way too fattening for us. I wonder if a turkey bacon would work as well...
