Delicious and easy! I used ground turkey instead of beef and just added some extra spices to compensate. The family loved it.

So Yummy! It makes a lot. I loved that you can make changes to fit who you are feeding. I used tortillas instead of noodles and black refried beans. I will be making this often. Thanx!

I used no bake lasagna noodles and substituted spicy fat free refried beans - if you do this you don't need the taco sauce. Because of the no boils, I also cut the water by 1/4c. Turned out great!

I used about 24 oz. of crumbled soy instead of ground beef and reduced the cheese to about 2 cups. I also added 3 drops of Tabasco sauce to the 2 T. of mild salsa. Everyone loved the recipe! With only two of us, there was plenty for leftovers.

Turned out very good. We like spicier food so I used a pkg. of hot taco seasoning and then used medium salsa. The noodles were a little more firm than my husband prefers so next time I'll add just a little more water and bake longer.

I divided it into two smaller dishes and put one in the freezer. I put crushed tortilla chips ontop which was nice. I actually forgot to cover it, it still turned out great!
