It features bechamel (white sauce) instead of ricotta, and Swiss cheese. Full of great flavor — I always get compliments!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 9 lasagna noodles 1 pound ground beef ½ onion, diced ¼ cup diced green bell pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk ½ cup heavy whipping cream 1 ½ (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 pinch herbes de Provence garlic powder 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Directions Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Pour in milk and heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture over noodles. Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce and 1/3 of white sauce over beef mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder on top. Cover with 1/3 of the Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice, starting with noodles and ending with cheeses. Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
