  • Repeat the layers: beef mixture, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, one-third of the bacon, and one-third of the cheese.
  • Place the final layer of noodles on top. Spread the reserved barbecue sauce over the noodles, then top with the remaining cheese and bacon.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
