I love love love this recipe. I have made it more times than i can count and every time is excellent. I always leave out the corn and olives cause we don't like that in our family. I have I'd both fresh cilantro and dried cilantro, depending on what invading the house. One I left out the salsa and it was still excellent. The only slightly neg thing is that it doesn't harden until its cool, so we always have essentially lasagne soup on our plates when it's fresh from the over. It is so good frozen and re heated as well.

Excellent but I really kicked up the bean mixture. I used spices in the same ratio as I used in the amazing Flatlander Chili recipe on this site, just way less chili powder.

The end result was absolutely delicious. The only thing I changed was to use corn tortillas instead of lasagna noodles (tasted like noodles anyway, so it really doesn't matter which one you use). To the tomato/bean mixture I added a batch of "Taco Seasoning I" from this website (quite possibly the best taco spice mix ever). It gave it a really flavorful Mexican taste that might of been lacking if I didn't add it.

We loved this recipe. I did a few things differently though. I mashed the black beans with the refried beans before adding them to the sauce mixture. I also added a sprinkle of white sugar to the cheese mixture. I also laid sauce down first before putting the noodles in. The noodles soaked up all that yummy sauce. Love this recipe!

This is a great recipe that has become one of our staples. I also add zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms to the black bean/corn mixture to give it more servings of veggies and it's delicious. It's great with green onion and black olives on top :)

I did add extra spices (chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper--skipped the cilantro just because I don't like it), like other reviewers suggested, and I used pepper jack cheese to get in a bit of extra kick there, plus threw some hot sauce into the bean mixture. With those changes it came out really excellent, with a good kick. :)

My husband and his friends love this lasagna. I even made it ahead and had him take it with him to work so his buddies could eat it in the barracks. It's delicious. I did jazz it up a bit with lots of garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, and chili powder. Yum!

My husband bought me refried black beans by accident, so I just used this recipe to use the black beans...both of us were pleasantly surprised! Not the flavor we were expecting but we really enjoyed it.
