Taco Lasagna Recipe

Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30-35 minutes
Total Time: 45-50 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
  • 1 can Nacho Cheese Soup
  • 9-12 lasagna noodles (cooked and drained)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
  • Chopped green onions or jalapeños (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Mixture:

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes).
  • Drain any excess grease from the beef.
  • Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the drained Ro*Tel diced tomatoes with chiles and the Nacho Cheese Soup. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through and combined.

2. Prepare the Lasagna Noodles:

  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

3. Layer the Lasagna:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the beef mixture, overlapping them slightly if needed.
  • Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture over the noodles and spread it evenly.
  • Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the beef mixture.
  • Repeat this layering process until you run out of ingredients, ending with a top layer of cheese.
