Ingredients List
-
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
-
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
-
2 teaspoons dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
-
12 dry lasagna noodles
-
2 ½ cups water
-
2 ½ cups salsa
-
2 cups sour cream
-
¾ cup chopped green onions
-
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
-
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
Cooking Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned evenly. Drain the excess fat, then combine the beef with refried beans, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.
Begin by placing four uncooked lasagna noodles at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the seasoned beef mixture over the noodles, then layer with another four uncooked noodles and the remaining beef mixture. Finish by topping with the final layer of noodles. In a small bowl, mix together water and salsa, then pour this mixture evenly over the layered noodles and beef.
Cover the dish securely with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, green onions, and olives. Spoon this mixture over the casserole, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
