With both bacon and ground beef, this hearty dish is a real crowd-pleaser. The recipe came from my grandmother, now in her 80s. I've learned so much from helping her in the kitchen. Cathy McCartney, Davenport, Iowa Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 medium onions, chopped |
2 pounds sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled |
2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
24 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained |
8 cups (32 ounces) shredded colby cheese |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the bacon, tomato sauce, tomatoes, sugar and salt; cook until heated through.
2. Spread 1 cup meat sauce in each of two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Layer with four noodles, 1-2/3 cups meat sauce, 1-1/3 cups cheese in each dish. Repeat layers twice.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 casseroles (12 servings each).
