Description
This cheesy beef lasagna is packed with layers of deliciousness, featuring seasoned ground beef, beans, and a blend of cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
- 1 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can corn, drained
- 1 10 oz can enchilada sauce (or homemade)
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 cup salsa
- 12 oz lasagna noodles (approximately 12 sheets)
- 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- In a large skillet cook the ground beef and onion over medium high heat. Break apart the ground beef and cook for 7-8 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the onions are soft. Drain any extra grease away. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes, until you can start to smell it.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the lasagna noodles for 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Add the taco seasoning and water called for on the packet, simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Pour in the tomatoes, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, tomato sauce and salsa. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes for the flavors to come together and the mixture to thicken up a little.
- Scoop about ½ cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking dish. Spread into a very thin layer to coat the bottom of the pan. Arrange about 4 lasagna sheets to cover the bottom of the pan. Top with about 1/3 of the beef mixture, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, so you have 3 layers of everything.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes until everything is bubbly and hot.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Notes
- This lasagna can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
- You can customize the ingredients by adding more vegetables or using different types of cheese.
