This Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is the ultimate comfort food mashup, combining the best of two classics: the hearty flavors of a cheeseburger and the layered goodness of lasagna. With savory ground beef, smoky bacon, a creamy Parmesan garlic sauce, and plenty of gooey cheese, this dish is indulgent, satisfying, and perfect for feeding a crowd.

Every time I make this lasagna, it disappears within minutes. The combination of flavors is just too good to resist.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Ground beef: Use lean ground beef for the best texture and flavor.
  • Bacon: Crispy, smoky bacon adds a delicious crunch and depth of flavor.
  • Lasagna noodles: Regular or no-boil noodles both work well.
  • Mozzarella cheese: Shredded mozzarella melts beautifully and adds that classic cheesy pull.
  • Parmesan cheese: Grated Parmesan brings a nutty, salty flavor to the sauce.
  • Cream cheese: Adds creaminess and richness to the Parmesan garlic sauce.
  • Garlic: Freshly minced garlic is a must for the sauce.
  • Heavy cream: Creates a smooth, velvety sauce that coats every layer.
  • Onion: Diced onion adds sweetness and depth to the meat sauce.
  • Tomato paste: Concentrates the tomato flavor and thickens the sauce.
  • Worcestershire sauce: Adds a tangy, umami kick to the meat sauce.
  • Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that enhances the overall flavor.
  • Salt and pepper: To season the dish perfectly.

How to Make Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna

Cook the lasagna noodles:
Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the meat sauce:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Make the Parmesan garlic sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Assemble the lasagna:
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by more meat sauce, crumbled bacon, Parmesan garlic sauce, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella on top.
Bake the lasagna:
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let it rest:
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to serve.

Customize It Your Way

Add veggies: Mix in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition. Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the meat sauce for a spicy kick. Cheese lovers: Add extra layers of your favorite cheeses, like cheddar or provolone. Low-carb option: Use zucchini slices or eggplant instead of lasagna noodles.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or microwave in 1-minute intervals until heated through.

02 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
03 1 small onion, finely diced
04 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 Salt and pepper, to taste

→ For the Parmesan Garlic Sauce

08 4 tablespoons butter
09 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
10 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
11 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
12 1 teaspoon garlic powder
13 Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Additional Layers

14 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
15 2 cups (200 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
16 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
17 1/2 cup (50 g) ricotta cheese (optional)
18 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Let's Cook!

Step 01

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Cook until the onion is soft. Stir in the crumbled bacon, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 02

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 03

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the Parmesan garlic sauce at the bottom of the dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with a third of the meat mixture, a drizzle of Parmesan garlic sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 04

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 05

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Cook's Notes

  1. For extra flavor, add sliced pickles between the layers to mimic a cheeseburger.
  2. You can prepare the lasagna in advance and refrigerate it; just increase the baking time by 10 minutes if baking from cold.
