🥓 Ingredients

For the Beef Filling

• 1½ pounds lean ground beef
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup beef broth

For the Creamy Cheddar Sauce

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Biscuit Layers

• 2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

For the Cheese Layers

• 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Bacon and Beef

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp.

Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cooled.

Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the skillet.

Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

Drain excess grease if necessary.

Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon.

3. Make the Cheddar Sauce

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.

Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.

Reduce the heat to low.

Add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Stir until completely melted and creamy.

4. Prepare the Biscuit Layers

Separate the refrigerated biscuits.

Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a thin round or oval shape.

You want them thin enough to create several layers.

5. Assemble the Lasagna

Spread a thin layer of cheddar sauce across the bottom of the baking dish.

Arrange a layer of flattened biscuits over the sauce.

Spread about one-third of the beef and bacon mixture over the biscuits.

Drizzle with cheddar sauce and sprinkle with some cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Repeat the layers:

Biscuits → beef and bacon → cheddar sauce → cheese

Finish with a final layer of biscuits, remaining cheddar sauce, and the remaining shredded cheeses.

6. Add Garlic Butter

Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley.

Brush the top biscuit layer lightly with the garlic butter.

7. Bake

Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

If needed, broil for 1–2 minutes for a deeper golden top.

Watch carefully while broiling.

8. Rest and Serve

Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra crumbled bacon if desired.

Serve warm.

💡 Tips for the Best Biscuit Lasagna

• Flatten the biscuits fairly thin so they cook completely in the center.
• Don’t make the biscuit layers too thick or the middle can remain doughy.
• Use freshly shredded cheddar for a smoother cheese sauce.
• Let the lasagna rest before cutting so the layers hold together.
• Keep the top covered during the first part of baking to prevent excessive browning.

🧊 Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
