9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden.

TIPS

• Use thick-cut bacon for extra smoky flavor.
• Add pickles or jalapeños for a cheeseburger-style twist.
• Fresh parmesan melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
• Let the lasagna rest before cutting to keep layers neat.
• Pair with garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
