Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

02

Step
8 mins

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.

03

Step
8 mins

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.

04

Step
6 mins

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.

05

Step
0 mins

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.

06

Step
0 mins

Repeat layers twice, starting with noodles and ending with cheeses.

07

Step
38 mins

Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of sautéed mushrooms to each layer.
Ensure the béchamel sauce is smooth and lump-free by whisking constantly as it thickens.
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow it to set, making it easier to slice and serve.
