Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna

Step 2: Make the Garlic Parmesan Cheese Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
3. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Remove from heat and fold in 1 cup cheddar, ½ cup mozzarella, and ½ cup Parmesan. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
4. Spread half of the beef and bacon mixture over the noodles.
5. Drizzle a third of the cheese sauce over the beef.
6. Repeat the layers: noodles → remaining beef mixture → another third of cheese sauce.
7. Top with remaining noodles and pour over the last of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar and the remaining Parmesan on top.
8. Add optional pickle slices between layers for extra cheeseburger flavor.

Step 4: Bake

1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
3. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
4. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.

Step 5: Serve

• Garnish with fresh parsley.
• Slice into hearty portions and serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a full, indulgent meal.
