If you like foods with Southwestern flair, this just might become a new favorite. Loaded with cheese, meat and beans, the layered casserole comes together in a snap. There are never any leftovers when I take this dish to potlucks. —Terri Keenan Tuscaloosa, Alabama

I made this last night and it was fantastic. Usually when I've made a new dish, I'll ask my husband if he likes it and he'll just say "It's good." When I made this, I didn't even had to ask, when he finally came up for air he said " This is fricken' delicious!". So, a winner in our house! My husband isn't a fan of beans so I subbed corn for the black beans and only used about 2/3 of the can of refried beans.

I added some chopped cilantro to the meat mixture for added taste & I also used one can of chopped green chillis instead of green peppers. Cover top layer with tinfoil because the top of mine browned & got crunchy but it was still good. Thanks for recipe.

Nice comfort food. I used diced tomatoes with green chilies b/c I couldn't find the Mexican ones. The sauce was really spicy in the pan but cooled off in the mix of the casserole. Served with sour cream and lettuce. Will add jalapenos next time.

This recipe is awesome. I make it frequently. I have just started Weight Watchers. Does anyone know how many points a serving of this would be? Need Protein, carbs, fat & fiber to calculate. Thanks, Glenyah

SO GOOD!! Loved this recipe!! So did my two girls... my 18-month old ate as big of a piece as I did and asked for more! I will definitely be making this again!

Great! Substituted corn for black beans and still delicious. Recommend draining meat mixture before layering into lasagna to make the final product less runny - that worked really well for us.

Wow, when I find something that my whole family loves, we know that recipe is a keeper. The only thing different was that I garnished with sour cream, fresh tomatoes and some shredded cheese. That was just a preference thing. Excellent!
