Bacon Lasagna Recipe

My cat Schitzy is much like the fictional feline named Garfield. Gifted with a natural instinct to sense and hunt down Italian food, we find that when we make this bacon lasagna at home he will sit in front of the glass window in the oven door and stare till finally the buzzer dings. Now that Schitzy has gotten older his poor little tummy can't handle the tomato sauce, but it doesn't stop him from trying to snag a bite off my plate of lasagna when I'm not looking. There's a special place for Schitzy someday, in Lasagna heaven.
