Mexican Lasagna - No Lasagna Noodles! image

This is a traditional dish in my family. Anyone can make it really. It is composed of traditional Mexican ingredients layered over the top of one another in a lasagna-like fashion (hence the name) but has little similarity to lasagna, so lasagna haters have no fear!

MEXICAN LASAGNA



Mexican Lasagna image

This Mexican lasagna is a fantastic twist. It's comfort food with a south of the border twist. It tastes like tacos with all the fixings except there are noodles instead of tortillas. Lasagna can be labor intensive but using no-boil noodles takes away one step. Super flavorful, this hearty dinner is layered with black beans,...

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb ground chuck
1 can(s) black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
1 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained (15.25 oz)
1/2 can(s) diced tomato with green chilies (1/2 10 oz. Rotel can
2 pkg taco seasoning
1 1/2 jar(s) Ragu cheese sauce (16 oz jar) (where spaghetti sauce is found)
26 oz white corn and black bean salsa (Walmart brand)
no-boil lasagna noodles (approx. 10)
2 pkg Mexican blend shredded cheese (8 oz each) or however much you choose to use
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook meat and drain grease.
  • 2. Add seasoning mix to cooked meat. Then add black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes/green chilies. Mix well and heat thoroughly.
  • 3. Lightly spray 9x13 inch pan. Pour 1/2 the jar of cheese sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • 4. Lay a single layer of noodles in the pan.
  • 5. Then layer meat mixture.
  • 6. Drizzle cheese sauce, salsa, and then shredded cheese. Then repeat noodles, etc, etc. THE LAST LAYER DO NOT ADD SHREDDED CHEESE. That will go on later. I did 3 layers.
  • 7. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. You might want to sit your pan on a cookie sheet in case it bubbles over.
  • 8. After an hour remove foil and add your shredded cheese.
  • 9. Return to oven 10 mins let sit for 10 mins.
  • 10. Serve top with sour cream.
  • 11. Now, remember I did no-boil noodles. You can use regular lasagna noodles you have to boil. Cook per package directions. When baking then you're only heating so I would say cook for 30 mins. Then remove foil, add cheese and return to oven for 10 minutes.
