To make this casserole I started by boiling some bow tie pasta and browning some ground beef.
Once the pasta was cooked I drained it and returned it to the large pot.
I poured a jar of marinara sauce over the pasta and stirred it.
Then I dumped in a tub of ricotta cheese and stirred really well until the sauce and cheese coated all of the bow tie noodles.
I drained the grease from the ground beef and added it to the pasta along with some diced pepperoni, real bacon bits, grated Parmesan cheese and basil pesto.
I stirred everything together really well and then poured it into a greased 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish.
After I spread the mixture out evenly in the pan I topped it with grated mozzarella cheese and parsley flakes.
I baked the casserole until the cheese started to brown.
After removing the lasagna casserole from the oven I allowed it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
The bacon and pepperoni add extra flavour to this dish that you don’t get from a lasagna with just ground beef.
Try this Three Meat Lasagna Casserole the next time you are in need of a delicous dinner in a hurry.
