Meat layer:
-
1 lb ground beef
-
1 small onion, diced
-
1 tbsp ketchup
-
1 tbsp yellow mustard
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Egg layer:
-
6 large eggs
-
1/4 cup milk
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling)
Lasagna layers:
-
6–8 no-boil lasagna noodles (or pre-cooked regular ones)
-
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar-jack blend)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise or a mix of mayo + sour cream (optional “cheeseburger sauce” layer)
-
2–3 dill pickles, thinly sliced (optional but fun!)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Prepare the beef mixture:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook onion until soft, then add ground beef.
-
Brown the meat, drain excess fat, then stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Scramble the eggs:
-
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
-
Scramble them lightly in a nonstick pan until just set (they’ll cook more in the oven). Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the lasagna:
In a greased 9×9 or 9×13 baking dish, layer as follows:
Layer 1: A spoonful of mayo or sour cream spread on the bottom (optional)
Layer 2: Noodles
Layer 3: Half of the scrambled eggs
Layer 4: Half the ground beef
Layer 5: A sprinkle of bacon and cheddar
Layer 6: Noodles again
Layer 7: Remaining eggs, beef, bacon, and cheeses
Optional: Add sliced pickles between layers or on top before baking.
4. Bake:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
-
Uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
5. Rest and serve:
-
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve with ketchup, mustard drizzle, or hot sauce.
🔁 Variations:
-
Low-carb? Use thin layers of cooked egg or grilled zucchini in place of noodles.
-
Add hash browns for a layered breakfast vibe.
-
Add American cheese slices between layers for a diner-style flavor blast.
