- 04 1 cup ranch dressing
- 05 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps
Step 01
In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Drain excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 02
In a bowl, combine ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon until smooth and well mixed.
Step 03
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles. Spread meat sauce evenly over noodles. Spoon bacon ranch mixture over the meat sauce and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella cheese.
Step 04
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 05
Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
