Taco Lasagna – Only 7 Ingredients

This dish combines the flavors of tacos with the comforting layers of lasagna. It’s a party on your plate and perfect for any occasion. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive in!

Slice of Taco Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or your meat of choice)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup salsa (the spicier, the better!)
  • 9 lasagna noodles (don’t worry, you won’t have to boil them!)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend, if you’ve got it!)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish. This baby is about to hold some deliciousness!
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat like a pro, and then stir in the taco seasoning as per package instructions. You’ll want to ensure those sweet spices infuse every bite.
  3. Now, add the softened cream cheese to the beef mixture. Stir until it’s all creamy and dreamy. Add the salsa and mix it all together, allowing the flavors to unite like a taco party in your pan!
  4. In your baking dish, start layering like a boss. Begin with a layer of the beef mixture, then a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top. Because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love extra cheese?
  5. Cover your masterpiece with aluminum foil (making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese—no one wants a cheesy mess!) and bake it for 30 minutes.
  6. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and let the cheesy goodness continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist) and slice into squares. It’s time to serve this feast!

Top it off with your favorite garnishes, whether it’s a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of green onions, or a few jalapeños for an extra kick. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the delightful tacos and lasagna that just made your dinner table the place to be!
