Tex-Mex Lasagna
from Cooking Light: Superfast Weeknight Dinners
3/4 cup bottled salsa
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 (14.5oz) can no salt-added diced tomatoes
1 (8oz.) can no salt-added tomato sauce
Add: 2 tbsp. hot sauce (Louisiana or Tabasco)
Cooking spray
6 precooked lasagna noodles
Add: 1 lb. ground beef
1/2 package taco seasoning
1 cup water
Add: 1 lb. ground beef
1/2 package taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 cup whole kernel corn
1 (15oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded cheese (Cooking light suggests pre-shredded reduced fat Mexican cheese blend)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add dried lasagna noodles. While you're cooking the noodles, brown the ground beef on medium-high. When the beef is browned, add 1/2 a package of taco seasoning and the water and simmer.
Combine first five ingredients; spread 2/3 cup sauce in bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish (I used 9x13) coated with cooking spray. Arrange 2 noodles over sauce; top with ground beef, tomato sauce, and cheese. Add another layer of noodles, then top with the corn, black beans, tomato sauce, and cheese. Add a third layer of noodles, tomato sauce, and cheese. Cover and bake at 450 for 30 minutes or until noodles are tender and sauce is bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with onions.

It's fun because it's not your traditional lasagna, and I'm going to venture to say - more healthly. Plus, any dish where you can break out the hot sauce is a favorite dish of mine. Good pick K!
