Lasagna is one of our favorite comfort foods, all those layers of pasta, meat sauce, and cheese baked together into one warm and satisfying meal. Now, imagine if that rich and delicious pasta were wrapped in a layer of bacon. Yes, bacon, and yes, it’s as good as you can possibly imagine. Of course, anything wrapped in bacon is going to be amazing, so naturally, this little bacon trick instantly makes our lasagna a thing of magic. This is a next-level indulgence and a must try for any lasagna or bacon lover.

We can’t say that much really changes here when it comes to making our lasagna. We use a loaf pan instead of a larger baking dish, and this helps with the bacon-wrapping process. Choose any pasta sauce you like here; a meat-based sauce is great, so to is a marinara or even a mushroom. If fresh pasta is an option, then absolutely go for it with your lasagna noodles. Fresh is really a great way to make a dish shine. A boxed variety of lasagna noodle, cooked al dente, will work just fine. And we’d be remiss to skip the ricotta cheese filling and shredded mozzarella. So all of the essentials are here, but now they’re wrapped up in bacon. Drool, drool!

What comes out of the oven is like a lasagna present wrapped in bacon. Now, it will be important to regularly drain some of the excess fat from the pan while this bakes, so use patience and caution when doing so. When the bacon is crisped and the kitchen is filled with the most amazing aroma, then you know it’s time to dig in. A few minutes of cooling will help the lasagna hold its form, so give yourself a little time before diving in. Our bacon-wrapped lasagna is both visually appealing and taste bud inspiring. Be prepared to impress everyone around the dinner table when this bacon-wrapped lasagna comes out of the oven.
