Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup diced dill pickles
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the beef, until browned.
  3. Drain excess grease. Add garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. For the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar, Monterey Jack, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  7. Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  8. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by half of the beef mixture, some diced pickles and red onion, and a layer of cheese sauce.
  9. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles, remaining cheese sauce, cheddar, and mozzarella.
  10. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  12. Let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
  13. Garnish with extra pickles and diced red onion before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
