Taco Lasagna is a combination of two of my favorite cuisines; Mexican and Italian rolled into one. The layers of lasagna noodles, taco meat, beans, and of course cheese makes this dish an easy family-friendly meal that everybody will love!
Taco Lasagna is a great weeknight or weekend meal that is not only easy to make but also comes together very quickly. I like to assemble the lasagna when I have a few minutes to spare during the day. I wrap it with foil and place it in the refrigerator.
Once dinner time gets a little closer, all I have to do is heat up the oven and bake the taco lasagna for 30 to 40 minutes. I am free to help the kids with their homework with out the added stress of preparing dinner.
I serve the taco lasagna with a dollop of sour cream and green onions sprinkled on top. I love it when we have leftovers because this lasagna is just as good if not better the next day. Any way you look at it, this recipe is a win!
With love from my kitchen to yours,

Why is it that the commercial plays perfectly (with no way to stop it early), but the instructional video stops at 0.07? It is so irritating!
It has happened to me from time to time on other sites as well, so it isn’t your fault, but it is still very irritating. Still, I’m looking forward to trying the recipe. Thanks for sharing.
