11 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the lasagna sheets according to package directions until just al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, Italian sausage, and diced onion together. Stir frequently, breaking up the meat until fully browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease. Reserve a portion of cooked meat for topping later.
03 -
Add most pepperoni slices, half the bacon crumbles, marinara sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat until sauce thickens and bubbles.
04 -
Gently fold cooked lasagna pieces into the skillet mixture, coating noodles evenly while preserving their shape.
05 -
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the skillet surface. Top with reserved bacon crumbles, reserved meat, and remaining pepperoni slices.
06 -
Place skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
07 -
Allow skillet to rest for 5 minutes to set before serving directly from the pan.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For a crispier pepperoni, place slices on top before baking or broil briefly to brown cheese for added flavor.
02 -
Leftovers improve in flavor after a day; reheat gently to preserve noodle texture.
