Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Noodles
- 12 sheets
Ground Beef
- 1 lb (450 g)
Black Beans
- 1 can (15 oz)
Mexican Cheese Blend
- 2 cups
Enchilada Sauce
- 2 cups
Onion
- 1 medium, diced
Bell Peppers
- 1 medium, diced
Spices
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for your delicious lasagna.
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
- Mix in Beans and Spices: Stir in the black beans, enchilada sauce, and spices, allowing the mixture to simmer for a few minutes.
- Layer the Lasagna: In a baking dish, start layering by spreading a thin layer of the meat mixture, followed by noodles, cheese, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Slightly undercooking the noodles will help them absorb the sauce without becoming mushy.
- Let it Rest: Allow the lasagna to sit for about 10 minutes before serving to help it set.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your family’s taste preferences.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spices and quality ingredients will significantly enhance the overall flavor.
- Store Leftovers Properly: Keep leftover lasagna in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
