# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, then drain any extra grease. Toss in the onions, garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the onions soften. Stir in the crumbled bacon and adjust seasoning.
02 -
In a medium pot, melt your butter and mix in the flour to create a paste-like roux. Gradually mix in the milk until it thickens up. Remove from the heat, stir in Parmesan, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan. Start with a thin spread of the sauce at the bottom, then layer 3 lasagna noodles, some meat, more sauce, and cheese.
04 -
Continue layering noodles, meat, sauce, and cheese, finishing off with a good amount of cheese on top.
05 -
Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Then take off the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until the cheese looks golden and bubbly. Let the lasagna sit for around 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Additional Notes:
