Recipe Introduction
I got this recipe years ago, dont even remember where now, but it has never failed me. I think it tastes even better the next day but we dont see leftovers of this around for too long.
List of Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 16 oz can refried beans
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
12 uncooked lasagna noodles (the old fashioned kind -- not the new quick cooking kind)
2-1/2 cups water
2-1/2 cups your favorite garden style salsa
4 oz shredded jack cheese (or the mexican style mix if u prefer) Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine beef (uncooked), beans, and spices in mixing bowl. Place 4 noodles in bottom of 13 x 9 baking pan (breaking noodles if necessary to cover the whole bottom of pan. Spread with 1/2 of beef mixture and top with 4 more noodles, spread with remaining beef mixture and top with 4 remaining noodles.
Combine water and salsa; pour over beef and noodles in pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1-1/2 hours. (Lay a sheet of foil under the pan first to catch drips -- doesnt always drip over but what a mess if it does!)
Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese is melted; about 5 to 10 minutes.
This will look very watery when you are finished baking it -- it MUST stand about 15 minutes to firm up but will slice beautifully then.
Enjoy!!
