Creating your Lasagna Meets Cheeseburger is easy! Simply follow these steps:

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish.
2. Cook the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage. Drain any excess fat.
4. Add Bacon: Stir in the crumbled bacon into the meat mixture, along with the marinara sauce, and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
5. Mix Cheeses: In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, half of the cheddar, Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper.
6. Layer the Dish: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Place a layer of noodles on top, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture, and another layer of meat sauce. Repeat this process until all components are used, finishing with meat sauce on top.
7. Add Remaining Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool: Once out of the oven, allow the dish to cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing into it.
10. Garnish: Optional — sprinkle fresh basil leaves for added color and flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to creating a delectable meal that truly embodies the spirit of Lasagna Meets Cheeseburger.
