Taco Lasagna
Report
This Taco Lasagna recipe is so easy and is a casserole that freezes well. When Mexican food meets Italian you get layers of pasta, salsa, seasoned taco meat and lots and lots of cheese.

Ingredients
- 12 oven ready lasagna noodles (see note)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (1-oz.) package Old El Paso taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning)
- 1 egg
- 1 (15-oz.) carton ricotta cheese
- 4 cups 1 lb. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (24-oz.) jar chunky salsa
- Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet, brown beef until no longer pink. Drain meat and add the taco seasoning. Stir until combined and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the egg and ricotta and stir until combined.
- In a 9x13 casserole dish, start by layering 4 lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan. Next, layer 1/3 of the ricotta, 1/3 of the beef mixture, 1/3 of the salsa, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers 2 more times.
- Bake covered with aluminum foil for 30-40 minutes or until the casserole has heated through and is bubbly. Let casserole stand 10 minutes before cutting. Top with your favorite taco toppings: sour cream, sliced green onions, and diced tomatoes if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- I use oven ready or no-boil lasagna noodles to save time. You can use regular noodles as well, just boil them before assembling.
- It's important to cover it tightly when baking. This kind of steams the noodles with the salsa.
- Freezing: This freezes great! To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator for 8 hours and then bake as directed.
