My grandmother added bacon to her cheesy lasagna—something she borrowed from carbonara-style pasta. I learned so much by her side. —Cathy McCartney, Davenport, Iowa

Ingredients

  • 24 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1-1/2 pounds bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cook noodles according to package directions for al dente; drain.
  2. In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook beef and onions over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, 10-12 minutes, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in bacon, tomato sauce, tomatoes, sugar and salt; heat through.
  3. Spread 1 cup sauce into each of 2 greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Layer each with 4 noodles, overlapping as needed, 1-2/3 cups sauce and 1-1/3 cups cheese. Repeat layers twice.
  4. Bake, covered, 40 minutes. Uncover; bake until bubbly, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Can you freeze Bacon-Colby Lasagna?

Cool unbaked lasagnas; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake the lasagna as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°.
