  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 16-oz can refried beans
  • 1 16-oz can mild chili beans, undrained
  • 1 14.5-oz can Rotel tomatoes, drained of excess liquid
  • 1 16-oz or smaller can of sweet corn
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 4-oz can of diced green chiles, mild
  • 1 envelope of reduced-sodium taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups Mexican cheese pre-shredded mix
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1-1/4 cups sour cream, divided
  • 9 lasagna noodles, prepared to package directions

Directions

  1. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  3. In a deep skillet, saute the onion with the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to soften. Add the ground beef and brown until no longer pink.
  4. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, salsa, corn, green chilies, and seasonings. Turn heat to medium-low and allow to cook. Stir occasionally.
  5. Mix the cottage cheese, 3/4 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheese in a large bowl.
  6. Construct the lasagna:
    • Spread about one cup of the meat sauce into a greased deep baking dish.
    • Layer with three noodles.
    • Cover with about a third of the cottage cheese mixture.
    • Add about a third of the meat sauce.
    • Repeat until you’ve used all of your meat sauce and cottage cheese mixture.
  7. Cover with foil and bake at 350F for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from the oven. Spread the remaining sour cream on the top and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Return it to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the lasagna to stand for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Top with additional favorites as you choose, like sliced olives, green onions, etc.
