Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 can (16 ounces) mild chili beans, undrained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican stewed tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 envelope reduced-sodium taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1-1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup 4% cottage cheese
  • 1-1/4 cups sour cream, divided
  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked, rinsed and drained

Directions

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, salsa, chilies and seasonings.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheeses; set aside 1 cup. Stir cottage cheese and 3/4 cup sour cream into remaining cheese mixture.
  • 3. Spread 1 cup meat sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles, and a third of the cottage cheese mixture and meat sauce. Repeat layers twice (dish will be full).
