Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon canola oil
1 pound ground beef sirloin
2 tablespoons chili powder
Kosher salt
Two 16-ounce jars salsa
1 pound no-boil lasagna noodles
Two 16-ounce packages part skim mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 large beefsteak tomato, diced
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with the chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking apart chunks of meat with the back of a spoon, and stirring often, until meat is crumbled and browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the salsa and 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Spread a quarter of the meat sauce over the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Lay a third of the noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly and breaking them to fit, if needed. Leave a 1/2-inch space around the edges of the baking dish. Top the noodles with another quarter of the meat sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Make another layer with a third of the noodles, a quarter of the meat sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat, making a final layer with the remaining third of the pasta and quarter of the sauce, making sure that the top layer of noodles is completely covered in sauce. Top with the remaining third of the mozzarella.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the noodles are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and cook 15 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with lettuce, tomato, Cheddar and chips.

"TACO-LASAGNA" OR NACHO CASSEROLE



Categories     turkey

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup - cooked taco seasoned meat (ground beef or turkey, grilled chicken, vegetarian chorizo, or skip this if you're vegetarian)
1 cup - shredded cheddar cheese (I use spicy cheddar)
1/2 cup - chopped fresh spinach or cilantro
1/2 cup of fresh tomato, diced
1/2 cup salsa (I like Primavera chipotle salsa)
1 can beans, rinsed and drained (black beans or pinto)
10 corn tortillas, cut into large-bite-size pieces (or substitute with corn tortilla chips or whatever you have on hand--tonight I used 4 corn tortillas and a package of prepared polenta)

Steps:

  • -Pour 1 tsp canola or olive oil into a 9x9 baking pan. Spread it around to grease the bottom and sides. -Cover bottom of pan with one layer of tortilla pieces. -Sprinkle salsa on the tortilla pieces In the pan. -Sprinkle a layer of 1/2 of the beans. Layer 1/2 of the meat, then 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 the tomatoes, 1/3 of the salsa, 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the tortilla pieces. -Layer the rest of the beans, meat, spinach and tomatoes. -Layer 1/2 of the remaining salsa, tortilla pieces, and cheese. -Top with the remaining tortilla pieces, salsa, and cheese. -Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Notes: It's a great way to use leftovers from "taco night" or steak that you brought home from a restaurant. Make it work for you--try shortcuts. For instance, you could substitute chili for all the ingredients except tortillas and cheese. Go ahead and add/remove/substitute ingredients with things you prefer. If you like it spicy, dice 1-3 jalapenos and toss them in. We usually put two jalapenos in our taco meat. This recipe is very flexible. I usually use ground beef (seasoned with chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper), chopped fresh spinach (Erik doesn't like cilantro), pinto beans, and the other ingredients I listed. Funny, I made a casserole tonight in order to make tomorrow's supper easier. We had no beef so I simply made it with beans. You could throw in anything you like in your burritos or enchiladas. I think this casserole tastes just like enchiladas.
