# Cheesy Bacon Lasagna This Dish From The Vulgar Chef Contains Cheesy Macaroni and Bacon Weaves By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-lasagna References: [thevulgarchef](http://thevulgarchef.com/2014/10/15/bacon-mac-lasagna-because-im-not-fat-enough-yet/) This bacon lasagna recipe stacks two of the world's best foods on top of each other in layers, as it also includes mac & cheese. The Bacon Mac Lasagna was created by The Vulgar Chef, who wanted to create something he could care about and the world would care about. The traditional ricotta is replaced with [macaroni and cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-mac-cheese-pizza), while the ground beef layers are substituted with bacon. Kyle Marcoux used [half a pound of Hormel bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-menu) to make bacon weaves (six slices of bacon a weave). Tomato sauce and extra cheese were also added to the stack and the bacon lasagna was cooked on broil until everything melted. You can add your own garnish to the dish as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bacon-weaved Dishes:** Opportunity to create innovative dishes by incorporating bacon weaves for added flavor and texture. - **Mac and Cheese Variations:** Room for creating unique and delicious mac and cheese dishes by replacing traditional ingredients with alternative options. - **Alternative Meat Substitutes:** Potential for substituting ground beef with alternative meat options to create innovative and flavorful dishes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in the development of new bacon-weaved dishes, mac and cheese variations, and alternative meat substitutes for the food and beverage industry. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can explore creative menu options by incorporating bacon weaves, unique mac and cheese variations, and alternative meat substitutes to attract customers. - **Food Delivery Services:** Food delivery services can tap into the trend of bacon-weaved dishes, innovative mac and cheese variations, and alternative meat substitutes to offer unique and exciting options to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bacon-Packed Heat-and-Eat Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-macaroni-cheese.md) - [Cheesy Double Decker Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-double-stack-lasagna.md) - [Thick Mac and Cheese Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-macaroni-dish.md) - [Extra-Cheesy Vegetarian Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-cheese-macaroni.md) - [Lasagna-Centric Menu Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-fest.md) - [Ranch-Covered Macaroni Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-chicken-bacon-ranch-mac-n-cheese.md) - [TV Diner-Style Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-cheese-lasagna-tv-dinner.md) - [Cheesy Macaroni-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smac-cheese-burger.md) - [BBQ Chicken-Topped Macaronis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbq-chicken-bacon-mac-n-cheese.md)
