I rarely make recipes twice, but this is one that I do make more often because it's that delicious. I prefer it with pork instead of beef, and I love how tender the lasagna noodles are when this is done. I spice it a little differently--2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp garlic powder. This is a keeper! -
This recipe was very easy to prepare. The combination of lasagna noodles and Mexican flavors worked fairly well. It did boil over a bit, so the sheet pan underneath is a good suggestion. I will definitely make this again at some point.
