4. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent the cheese from over-browning) and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
5. Serve:
- Remove the Taco Lasagna from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Optional: Serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions or jalapeños for an extra touch of flavor and freshness.
Tips and Variations:
- Vegetarian Version: Substitute the ground beef with black beans or refried beans for a meatless version.
- Extra Heat: For a spicier kick, add jalapeños to the beef mixture or sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- Add Veggies: You can add other veggies like corn, bell peppers, or onions to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.
- Cheese Variations: Use a mix of different cheeses such as pepper jack or Mexican blend cheese for a different flavor profile.
