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.

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