Chorizagna - My Mexican Chorizo Lasagna image

Looking for a flavorful dinner? You've found one with this chorizo lasagna recipe. It's so easy and delicious! Chorizo adds a mild spiciness to the lasagna which pairs well with the pop of paprika. The cottage cheese adds a wonderful creaminess to the dish. We chose to use the pepper jack cheese and it does add a bit of heat. If...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box lasagna noodles ready-bake
1 pkg chorizo (Mexican sausage, mild or medium), 16 oz.
1 green pepper
1 medium yellow onion
1 clove garlic
1 can(s) favorite spaghetti sauce, 24 oz.
1 pkg cheese (pepper jack cheese- if you like spicy), 8 oz.
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large container of cottage cheese, 24 oz.
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a medium pan heat chorizo (if in casing remove casing - we only need the filling :D). Cook through and pour it into a dish to set to the side for now.
  • 3. Chop onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat oil in the pan. Add ingredients to the pan. Heat until slightly translucent.
  • 4. Add sauce and chorizo to the pan with onion mixture. Keep on medium heat until heated through.
  • 5. Break egg into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mix.
  • 6. Spray casserole dish with Pam/grease with butter/whatever you prefer (I like Pam). Layer some of the meat until it covers the bottom of the dish.
  • 7. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the meat.
  • 8. Drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese mixture next and spread. Then place the bake-ready lasagna strips over that (covering the cottage cheese). Finish this layering process and end with either meat or cottage cheese. Top with remaining cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • 9. Pop in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check it - if it's bubbling, it's done. Let sit for about 10 minutes or more. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Chorizagna turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the noodles.

This Chorizagna is a great way to use up leftover chorizo. I had some leftover from a taco night and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of chorizo, but I really enjoyed it in this lasagna. It wasn't too spicy and it added a nice smoky flavor.

I made this Chorizagna last night and it was a hit! The chorizo gave it a nice smoky flavor and the lasagna noodles were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
