July Recipe
By Sam the Cooking Guy
Mexican Lasagna
INGREDIENTS
½ lb lasagna noodles, broken into 2 inch-ish pieces
1 lb ground beef
½ yellow onion, diced small
2 large clove garlic, minced
1 pack fajita seasoning, about 1.3 ounces
15 oz can diced tomatoes, drained
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 350
Break the lasagna noodles into 1 to 2”
pieces and cook until done
Brown ground beef in cast iron pan or oven
proof skillet until about halfway done, then
add onions and garlic – cook until beef is
fully cooked and vegetables softened -
drain any excess fat
Put back on heat and add fajita seasoning –
start with about half the pack, mix well and
taste - I generally use most of the pack
Then stir in tomatoes, drained noodles and
1 cup of the cheese
Combine everything well, and season with
salt and pepper if necessary
Simmer about 5 minutes, top with
remaining cheese and put into the oven, or
put into a casserole dish - then bake until
bubbly and the top is beginning to brown -
20-30 minutes
Remove and serve, garnished cilantro.
Serves 4-6
