The first time I made this I will be honest, I was scared. I couldn't picture lasagna noodles and Mexican together. I was pleasantly surprised with the out come and so were my family and friends! It is now a staple on our menu. I love this becuase you can buy the normal lasagna noodles, you don't have to cook them and they acutally turn out great when you're done. Freezes well!!
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
2 tablespoons hot salsa
12 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles
4 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella for lower fat)
1 (16 ounce) jar mild salsa
2 cups water
2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans, chilies, taco seasoning and hot salsa.
