This was so amazing I made this for my fiancé and he loved it as well!! Some changes I made were while the meat was browning I added hot chili flakes, tex mex spice and a package of hot and spicy taco mix! Next time I will add hot sauce ! Just a couple dots. Or some medium salsa. Some other changes I made was i also bake it for about 20 minutes with cheese on the top and all throughtout the layers and I added green onions for a fantastic taste . I also added a can of black beans !! So good :)

5 stars with quite a few changes - otherwise probably only 3 stars. I make my version of this in my regular rotation - my husband and I love it! After browning the meat, I mix in a jar of salsa, one small can of tomato sauce, and a packet of taco seasoning. I then layer a tiny bit of the meat sauce in the bottom of the pan, followed by three cooked lasagna noodles, 1/3 meat mixture, 1 cup taco cheese, and repeat two more times. On the final layer, I add crushed tortilla chips before placing in the oven. I usually cook in 350* for 20 minutes, uncovered. Delicious!

I made this tonight because I had some left over lasagna noodles cooked that I didn't know what to do with. We browned 1lb of hamburger and added a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes with 2 packets of taco seasoning. I put some olive oil on the bottom of my glass pan (9x13) so the noodles wouldn't stick and layered noodles, warm refried beans (made it easier to spread) cheese, meat and tomatoe mixture then more lasagna noodles. It made about 3 layers. We put it in the oven for 25 minutes at 350 then added a layer of cheese then broiled for 3-5 minutes. Added crunched up tortilla chips, diced up mixed baby green salad and sour cream with home made jalepenos on the side... BEYOND AMAZING!!! We have decided that Taco Night is now Taco Lasagna Night!

This was a good dish with some modifications. I did not have any tomato sause so I substituted one can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce) and 8 ounces of mild sasa. I also added a can of black beans to stretch it out some more. The kids I was with did not care for it but the mother was not surprised by this and was happy to have the leftovers.

The only issue here is using plastic wrap in the microwave since that leeches toxins. However Parchment paper or a paper towel is better. For a really fast (but not as healthy way) is using taco meat already prepared and seasoned (in the tubs) and no boil noodles. It was great but while cooking in the microwave I preheated the stove to broil and then added cheese and crushed chips on top...it gave it a baked look and the family love it and had no idea it was mostly a fast microwave meal!

I love this recipe! I have made it several times, and it always turns out great. I definitely recommend baking it in the oven as several people have mentioned. The main other changes I have made are using 2 pounds of ground beef because I wanted it meatier, and using flour tortillas instead of lasagna noodles. The tortillas make it lighter and give it more of a mexican feel than the lasagna noodles, and they don't get soggy like the tortilla chips would if you are planning to make several meals out of it. I do crush tortilla chips or Doritos over the top when I serve it.

This was very good! I used ground turkey instead of beef. I loved the taste with the taco seasoning. I feel you could even use 2 packages of taco seasoning for extra flavor. I also used taco mixed cheese instead of Cheddar. I served it with sour cream. Will make again!

Easy to make - You definitely want to BAKE this recipe at 350 for 30 minutes, and don't leave out the crunched up taco shells! They're cheap, and really made the dish have some 'pop' besides cheesy taco meat. Remember you should have 3 layers (I only had two, oops) and also you might want to layer multiple noodles on top of each other, I had a lot left over and it was too late to go back and add them because I had already added my sauce and cheese.)

My small family loved this dinner. The only thing I changed is sliced olives and an extra lawyer of chips in the middle, including on the top. Thank you!!!
