Bacon-Colby Lasagna image

With both bacon and ground beef, this hearty dish is a real crowd-pleaser. The recipe came from my grandmother, now in her 80s. I've learned so much from helping her in the kitchen. -Cathy McCartney, Davenport, Iowa

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lasagna turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough sauce?

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I would recommend using a different type of cheese. I used cheddar cheese and it was a bit too strong for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of bacon than the recipe called for. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.
