Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Meat Sauce: Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Add onion and cook until soft, then stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in marinara sauce, bacon, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Béchamel Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour for about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in milk while whisking until smooth, then cook until thick. Stir in Parmesan and garlic powder, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Layer in a baking dish starting with meat sauce, noodles, béchamel, mozzarella, and cheddar. Repeat layers, finishing with extra Parmesan on top.
  4. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
