Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef you don’t need to brown it
  • 1 16 ounce can refried beans
  • 1 packet taco seasoning — use organic or here's a recipe for homemade taco seasoning
  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 cups picante sauce or salsa
  • 1-2 cups sour cream
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese or mix together.
  • You can also add ½-1 cup of pureed veggies to the meat mixture for added nutrition without affecting the flavor. Try carrots cauliflower or squash.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine beef, beans, and taco seasoning. Then layer 4 uncooked noodles in bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Spread half of beef mixture over noodles. Layer with ¾ cup of cheese. Top with 4 noodles. Spread with remaining mixture and top with remaining noodles.
  • In a medium bowl, mix water and picante sauce. Pour evenly over layers. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, or until noodles are tender. Spoon sour cream over lasagna, and top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese melts, about 5 to 10 minutes
