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

This lasagna was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.
