I made this for dinner tonight. Not only was it tasty, but it's made with ingredients I always keep on hand and it comes together fast. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We were surprised at how much we enjoyed this Mexican taco lasagna. It's basically a layered casserole that takes beef and bean tacos to a new level. This casserole has the flavors of tacos and adds gooey cheese and beans for a hearty meal. It takes a little bit of time to prepare, but it's still easy enough for a weeknight meal. We topped ours with a little sour cream, taco sauce, and jalapenos. But, use your favorite toppings. On the side, we served charro beans and Spanish rice for a full meal.
