Easy Baked Taco Lasagna

I love pasta. That’s not really a secret, right? One of my favorite pasta dishes is lasagna but I rarely make it because I don’t have time. But this baked taco lasagna is really easy and fast to put together, even on a weeknight. You can even assemble it earlier in the day, pop it in the fridge, and toss it in the oven when you get home in the evening. 

Ingredients:

12 no boil lasagna noodles
2 lbs ground beef
1 pkt taco seasoning
1 egg
1 container (15oz) ricotta cheese
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 jar (24oz) chunky salsa
2 cups sour cream
1 can petite diced tomatoes
chopped green onions, to garnish

Directions:

1. In large skillet, brown ground beef. Drain; add taco seasoning and stir.
2. In small bowl, add the egg and ricotta cheese; stir until combined.
3. Lay 4 lasagna noodles in bottom of 13×9 baking dish.
4. Layer 1/3 of ricotta, 1/3 of ground beef mixture, 1/3 of salsa, and 1/3 of cheese.
5. Repeat layers 2 more times.
6. Bake covered at 350 for 35 minutes.
7. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
8. Top with sour cream, tomatoes, & green onions.

This taco lasagna was full of flavor and cheesy goodness. The kids were skeptical at first because tacos and lasagna just don’t belong together in their world. But I starved them for hours so they’d give it a try. I kid, I kid (not really). But they loved it! Even the teenager, who was the most skeptical of all, cleaned his plate and asked for seconds! That’s a win in my world, y’all.
