Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and chopped (reserve some for topping if desired)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (or Dijon)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided, sharp cheddar preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 810 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (optional, to thin sauce)
  • More shredded cheddar and mozzarella for topping
  • Chopped dill pickles (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Boil lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and lay flat to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic in the last minute. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in cooked bacon, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine beef-bacon-onion mixture with cream cheese, ketchup, and mustard. Mix until creamy. Fold in 1 cup cheddar and 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  6. In a small bowl, mix marinara sauce and beef broth. Spread 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Spread about 1/3 cup of the beef-cheese filling over each lasagna noodle, leaving space at the end. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
  8. Pour remaining sauce over roll-ups. Sprinkle with extra cheddar and mozzarella. Cover loosely with foil.
  9. Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispier top if desired.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes. Top with reserved bacon, chopped pickles, and parsley or green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

Slightly undercook noodles for easier rolling. Let beef mixture cool before mixing with cheese. Don’t overfill noodles to prevent bursting. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated or frozen. For gluten-free, use GF noodles. Add chopped pickles for a classic cheeseburger flavor.
