# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 190°C. Prepare a half sheet pan (46 x 33 cm).
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, breaking apart while cooking. Add diced onion and sauté until beef is fully browned and onions are softened. Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, onion powder, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
04 - Spread one-third of cheddar mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared sheet pan. Arrange a single layer of oven-ready lasagna noodles over the sauce.
05 - In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese and condensed cream of bacon soup. Stir until fully blended.
06 - Spoon half of ricotta mixture over noodles, spreading evenly. Top with half of the cooked beef mixture and sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
07 - Arrange another layer of noodles. Spread remaining ricotta mixture, then pour the rest of the cheddar mixture over the noodles, spreading evenly.
08 - Distribute remaining cooked ground beef evenly. Cover sheet pan tightly with aluminium foil.
09 - Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
10 - Remove from oven and discard foil. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon pieces evenly over the top.
11 - Return pan to oven, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes until cheese is deeply melted and golden on top.
12 - Remove lasagna from oven and allow to rest for several minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the lasagna to cool briefly before slicing to help maintain neat layers.
