This is a good recipe, but I won't make it again - without several modifications. I still prefer the 'ol traditional "Italian" lasagna. I liked this more than my bf did (and that's one reason why I won't make it as often), especially since it calls for uncooked lasagna noodles (how easy is that?!!?!). If I do make this again, I'll add more seasoning (way too bland for me / us). I think other reviewers suggested adding a packet of taco seasoning to spice things up a bit. I used fat-free refried beans, and think that robbed the dish of some flavor (my fault). I didn't combine the onions, olives and sour cream together (my bf doesn't like sour cream or olives and I don't like olives either). I just dolloped individual servings with sour cream and garnished with green onion, and chopped tomatoes. This lasagna goes well with a tossed romaine salad with vinaigrette dressing, tortilla chips, salsa or guacamole and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Thanks for sharing!

I followed this recipe almost exactly. The only thing I changed is that I served the sour cream on the side (hot sour cream, ewww). Made it for cinco de Mayo. Yummy

I mixed the refried beans and spinces in the warm pan with the browned ground beef (it mixed easier as it warmed). I also precooked the noodles and omitted the water in the recipe. I layered as followed: a light layer of salsa on the bottom, noodles, of meat-bean mixture, pepper-jack/monterey jack/mozza cheese mix layer, salsa. I repeated these layers, ending with a layer of noodles. I then topped it with more cheese. I baked it for 45 minutes, let it cool for 10 minutes (solidifies a bit in the pan and allows for easier cutting), and topped each serving with plain sour cream. Oh, it was so good! And even better the next day! Thanks for sharing, Popcklgal!

This was very good, but I made a lot of changes based on the reviews.

Great recipe! Totally easy and really delicious. I added half an onion, a can of green chiles, and also used the taco seasoning instead of all the listed spices. Worked great! Definitely a new staple in my recipe box.

This was great! I made this for dinner tonight and got rave reviews. I used taco seasoning in lieu of the spices and instead of salsa, I used Tabasco chili mix and cut some water out. Yummy! I think next time I'll do cheese in between the layers as well. Thanks for the recipe!

This was pretty good, I will make again.

This was a terrific recipe. Like most reviewers, I substituted taco seasoning for the spices and served the sour cream on the side. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. We all came back for seconds. Will definitely make again.

Very good. I was nervous about the dry lasagna noodles so I cooked them first and skipped adding the water to the recipe. My family enjoyed this almost as must as traditional lasagna. I think next time I might mix the sour cream with some ricotta cheese.

What a clever idea. We loved it!

Good recipe. 5 star with the following changes. I used the homemade taco seasoning recipe and a refried beans recipe found on this site. I took the suggestions of other and added a can of chopped tomatoes, small onion, minced garlic, and used the taco seasoning (omitted the spices) to the ground beef mixture. I mixed green chiles with the sour cream and omitted the green onions and olives. Will make again

Loved this dish. My six year old son requests this at least once a week. My husband, who is not really a "Mexican" food fan, enjoys it as well. I've tried several "tortilla" Mexican lasagna from this site. This was a great variation, with the lasagna noodles.

YUM! I really liked using the lasagna noodles instead of tortillas as in a lot of similar recipes. I also used taco seasoning and can of chilis. Added more cheese...used Taco/nacho blend and added another cup or so of cheddar. There can never be too much cheese for us! I layered it along top of the meat/beans mixture. It would be good with a can of black beans or corn too. This is definitely a keeper.

Very good and easy to make. I prepared this the night before and baked it and then finished it off with the sour cream and cheese the next day for dinner. Would make again.

Excellente! This is part of the dinner rotation. I make it with Veggie crumbles. I just put the frozen crumbles in a bowl and mix in the spices and beans. So easy!

We are not salsa fans, therefore, instead of salsa and water we used enchilada sauce. It is delicious! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
