I collect cookbooks and recipes (this one is from my son's mother-in-law). My husband teases me that I won't live long enough to try half of the recipes in my files!—Rose Ann Buhle, Minooka, Illinois

Most ridiculously easy lasagna I've ever made! Absolutely amazing recipe! So yummy! Boyfriend gobbled it up and got seconds! And the best part is that is makes great leftovers too!

Only change I made was that I used oven ready noodles, and added onions and garlic while cooking the ground beef.

I've been making this recipe for several years for my family and it is always a hit. We prefer it to tacos, and I think it's easier to make.

My wife and friends loved this and wanted me to make another the next day.

Wow! My family loved this! Would agree that the beans made it a little thick. I think I will make with black beans next time and half of the refried beans. This is a recipe that I will use over and over again.

While I admit to tampering with the recipe because I prefer shredded beef and detest so-called 'taco seasoning', I still think that this is much more work that it's worth. It tasted just like so many other 'taco salad' or 'taco-bean dip' recipes I've eaten over the years. It takes less time to prepare a 'taco meal' with the same ingredients (sans the noodles, of course), which is easier to serve and more friendly to various eaters personal tastes.

I didn't realize that the noodles were to be put in the casserole without cooking them first and so by the time I realized it I already had the dish assembled. I realized my mistake when I considered adding so much watery salsa before baking. In order to save the dish, I drained off liquid from my salsa-water mixture and added enough more salsa to make two cups. Thankfully, it turned out great!

I made only one minor change to this recipe. The beef/bean mixture seemed a little too thick and dry so I added a little tomato juice to it and we loved it. I used the regular lasagna noodles and I cut the recipe in half for the two of us. It was really good.
