👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Make the Bacon Ranch Layer
In a bowl, mix ranch dressing, grated Parmesan, and crumbled bacon until well combined.

- Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add a layer of lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping.
- Spoon a layer of meat sauce over the noodles.
- Spread the bacon ranch mixture evenly on top.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella on top.
5. Bake
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.
6. Rest & Serve
Let lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the applause.
