If you love cheeseburgers, bacon, and lasagna, then this Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is about to become your new favorite indulgence.

This dish takes all the best parts of a juicy bacon cheeseburger—seasoned beef, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and garlic-infused goodness—and layers them between tender lasagna noodles with a rich, cheesy sauce.

The result? A savory, creamy, and outrageously delicious meal that’s perfect for feeding a crowd or simply treating yourself to something special.

Here’s Why You’ll Love My Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna

This lasagna is the ultimate comfort food that combines two classic favorites into one decadent dish.

It’s cheesy, garlicky, smoky, and packed with flavor in every bite. The addition of crispy bacon brings a delightful crunch and savory depth, while the creamy layers of Parmesan-infused béchamel sauce and mozzarella create a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Plus, this lasagna is perfect for meal prep, as it tastes just as good (if not better) the next day when all the flavors have had time to meld together.

What To Serve With Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna

This lasagna is a rich, hearty dish, so pairing it with lighter sides can help balance the flavors. A crisp Caesar salad or a simple arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette makes a refreshing contrast to the cheesiness.

Garlic bread or toasted ciabatta is always a great choice for soaking up the delicious sauce. For a low-carb option, try serving it with roasted Brussels sprouts or sautéed zucchini.

Tips for the Best Parmesan Garlic Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna

To make sure your lasagna turns out perfectly cheesy and flavorful, follow these tips. First, use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for the best depth of flavor.

When cooking the beef, make sure to drain excess grease so the dish doesn’t become too oily. Crisp the bacon well before layering it in so it maintains its crunch.

Finally, allow the lasagna to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to help the layers set, making it easier to slice and serve.
