Contest-Winning Tex-Mex Lasagna image

This yummy dish combines my love of lasagna with my love of Mexican food. I made the recipe healthier by using lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheese. And I increased the fiber by adding beans. -Athena Russell of Florence, South Carolina

This lasagna was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the lasagna was a bit dry. I probably won't make it again.

This lasagna was a disaster! The cheese filling was too runny and the lasagna fell apart when I tried to cut it. I ended up throwing it away.

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best lasagna he's ever had. I'll probably make it again, but with less chili powder.
