Chicken Bacon Lasagna Rollups

(Courtesy of allrecipecenter)

Ingredients:
8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained (cook 2 minutes less than the package directions)
1 lb. bacon, cooked, drained and chopped
1 small red or yellow onion
6 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 c. alfredo cream sauce
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
FILLING:
1 c. ricotta cheese
1/2 c. sour cream
6 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder

Directions:
Once the lasagna is done cooking, drain in a strainer and dry on paper towels (do not leave on the paper towels long as the paper towels will stick).  

In the bacon grease or a small amount of vegetable oil, add diced onions and garlic.  Cook for 3 minutes.  Drain.  Mix in with the bacon that has been chopped.  Set some of this mixture aside to use at the end.

In a medium size bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and onion powder.

Spread the filling onto the cooked pasta evenly.  Top with the shredded chicken onto each pasta.  Sprinkle with bacon mixture.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  

In the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, spread some alfredo sauce.  Roll up the lasagna starting with a short end and working down the long end.  Place, seam side down, in the baking dish on top of the alfredo sauce.  Continue with all of the lasagna.  Cover the rollups with the remaining alfredo sauce.  Top with bacon, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-35 minutes.  Let rest for 5-10 minutes prior serving.

Note~ I did not use onions in mine at all, I substituted onion powder and it was fine.  I did not use the bacon grease to fry the garlic in because it was very hot and started to burn the garlic the first time I tried it.  The garlic does burn very quickly so it needs to be watched very closely and the oil temperature needs to be monitored close.  I forgot to top mine with the shredded mozzarella cheese and it turned out just fine.
