4 slc Bacon, diced
1 lb Ground beef
1 cup Onion chopped
3 cup Spaghetti sauce
1 can Cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can Milk (soup can)
1 ct Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated & divided

Recipe

In 10" skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Spoon off fat. Add beef and onion. Cook until meat is browned and is thoroughly cooked and no pink remains, stirring once during cooking to separate meat. Spoon off fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce; set aside.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine soup and milk. In another small bowl, combine ricotta and 1/4 cup of parmesan.

In 13x9" baking dish, spread 1-1/2 cups of meat sauce. Top with 3 lasagna noodles, spread with 1/2 of soup mixture, 1/2 of cheese mixture, and 1/3 of remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining lasagna noodles and remaining meat sauce. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Bake 10 minutes more or until hot and bubbling. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

* TIP: In northern Italy, many lasagna recipes often use a creamy white sauce along with the traditional red sauce.
