We did like this. I only added 1 can of refried beans because I thought it would be to much with 2 cans. And I put it into a pie dish.

This was great. I made it for my family, my husband and son and they loved it. Next time I will add something else into it so it will give it more substance. I will make it again!

Very good base recipe. After reading many of the other reviews, I added about 1/2 cup of salsa and one can of diced tomatoes to the beef mixture, as well as about a cup of frozen corn. Then I was afraid it would be too juicy, so I simmered for about 20 minutes to reduce the moisture. Stirred in one can of refried beans. This is a great idea, the beans just dissolve into the mixture and thicken it up. A good way to sneak beans into the diet of my picky kids.

Great basic recipe! It's really tasty but I think next time I will add something more to it.

I started with this recipe as a base then ventured forth using reviews from this and other Mexican Lasagna recipes on this site. Tortilla, refried beans, corn, taco meat, mexican blend cheese, enchilada sauce (unfortunately not the Tex-Mex enchilada sauce from here that's sooooo good), then repeat. I made mine in a round pan, and would've added layers, breaking up the "stack" of filling but I ran out of depth really quickly. Next time will use deeper pan and break down the layers. This definitely needs some kicking up with green chilies or jalapenos. It was a great base recipe and will keep this on my rotation. For plating, I laid down chopped lettuce, lasagna, sour cream, diced tomatoes, diced jalapenos. See picture.

Great! The kids even love it. I use FF refried beans, 2% cheese, and whole wheat tortillas to make it a bit healthier. Ground turkey also works but does look as appealing. Add some light sour cream on top and it's really good!

Great base recipe! I used only one can of (spicy) refried beans, diced onions, and petite diced tomatoes, because that's what I had on hand. Used all the spices we normally use for tacos, rather than a seasoning mix. Also added some minced garlic, a can of corn, a layer of sour cream, and another layer of tortillas on the bottom of the dish. Will definitely make again!

I added garlic powder and pepper to the hamburger as well, reduced the beans to one can, added in tomatoes, onions, green chili's, and a little tobasco to the meat. Only ended up baking it till the cheese melted, about 10-15 minutes so it wouldn't be too dry. Also the meat mixture itself makes for very tasty burritos.

I made a vegetarian version of this for a potluck lunch, and five people asked for the recipe! I chopped onions and bell peppers and sauteed them, and used that in place of the ground beef. I sprayed the (glass) pan with non-stick spray, just in case, and that worked out well because I had to microwave it one quarter at a time, because the pan wouldn't fit! I also didn't realize the onions and tomatoes should have gone on AFTER cooking, so I cooked it with them on top. Wasn't as pretty, maybe, but it was still tasty. I made sure to get vegetarian refried beans and tortillas with no lard. Making it at home, I would have to add more spices because I like a kick, but everyone at work loved it!

i too found this recipe to be ok but not spicy enough...i make mine with med to hot salsa, depending on what you like..and use extra spicy taco seasoning..i also use just canned beans and mash them..they arent as dry as refried beans..much more flavor

This was a very simple but tasty recipe. I followed the directions as written except I only used one can of beans and we thought that was plenty. We also added some diced jalapenos in with the cheese layers. Yum! Per the suggestion in another review - I put a layer of the tortillas down first on the bottom of the pan which I think probably made for easier scooping out and clean up afterwards.

I made this last night and the kids begged me to add it to our monthly menu and make it again! This is a fantastic base recipe, and as most of the others I added a couple of extra ingredients to personalize it for our family. My kids made the suggestions to top it with crunched up tortilla chips next time..I think I'll try it..it's definately a crowd pleaser!

How this has 4.5 stars I will never know!! This thing was dry as a bone. I followed the directions exactly too.

The flavor here was very good, but it seemed to be missing some substance. Maybe an extra layer of tortilla shells, or even some rice would of made it more filling. I will try again with some alterations, or at least with a side dish next time.

my husband really liked this one!

I only had 1 can of refried beans so I mashed up some chili beans (drained) and it was great. My daughter and hubby loved it.

This recipe is really simple and tastes great! I change up the recipe when I make it, though. I use salsa instead of diced tomatoes and I put an extra layer of tortillas on the bottom to help it come out of the pan easier. I've also made this recipe with chicken; it's still good, but beef is still my favorite!

This was really satisfying, it's dense and hearty. My daughter had three helpings. Thanks for a great recipe.
