Ham and Bacon Lasagna

A whole new way to taste lasagna.

Serves: 8
Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound Smithfield Bacon, coarsely chopped
• 1 pound Smithfield Ham, chopped
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 4 stalks celery, minced
• 3 carrots, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2 cups chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 pound lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
• 1/3 cup Romano cheese, grated
• 4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

To make the meat sauce: In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon until crisp and fat is rendered. Remove all fat except 2 tablespoons. To the pan, add the onions, carrots and celery. Sauté until just tender. Add the butter and flour and stir until a paste forms on the vegetables and bacon. Stir in milk, chicken stock and ham. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until thickened. Stir in parsley.

To assemble, place 1/3 the noodles in the baking dish and top with 1/3 of the meat mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 of each cheese over the meat mixture. Continue with two more layers and bake for 30 minutes.
