# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the diced onions and sauté until the beef is fully browned and the onions are softened. Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, onion powder, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
04 -
Spread one-third of the cheddar mixture evenly onto the bottom of a half sheet pan (18 x 13 inches). Arrange a single layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles over the sauce.
05 -
In a separate bowl, stir together ricotta cheese and condensed cream of bacon soup until smooth.
06 -
Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and spread evenly. Top with half of the cooked beef mixture and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
07 -
Place another layer of noodles on top. Spread remaining ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by the remaining cheddar mixture, distributing it evenly.
08 -
Top with the remaining cooked ground beef. Cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil.
09 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
10 -
Remove from oven and discard foil. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheddar cheese and scattered cooked bacon pieces over the top. Return pan to oven, uncovered, and bake an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
11 -
Remove the pan from the oven and let the lasagna rest for several minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
