Easy to put together and has delicious cheesy bacon flavor. Added salt and pepper to taste.

This is a nice lasagna for meat lovers. The flavors are mild - I thought it would have a heavy bacon flavor, but it didn't. The colby cheese is an interesting change from traditional lasagna. I thought I would end up using less of the cheese, but I used all 4 cups and it seemed right. I added in some hot sauce and some black beans I had in the freezer. Thanks for sharing!
