Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Burger I have used Venison in this
  • 1 15 oz. Can Black Beans drained
  • 1/2 Pack Taco Seasoning
  • 2 1/2 C. Salsa
  • 1 C. Sour Cream About 2/3 per layer
  • 3 C. Mexican Shredded Cheese About 3/4 C. Per layer
  • 9 Lasagna Noodles Uncooked
  • 1/4 C. Milk
  • Cilantro Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ยบ
  • In a Casserole dish ( I use an 8x11) do a layer of 1/2 C. of salsa on bottom of dish.
  • In small bowl whisk together your sour cream and milk until smooth.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat: brown meat,then drain off excess grease. Next add your taco seasoning, 2 C. of remaining salsa and your beans; allow to heat thru. remove from heat.
  • Now its time to start layering. There will be a total of 3 layers as following: Noodles (3) Sour Cream ( about 1/3C. per layer) Cheese ( about 3/4 C. per layer, will be an extra 3/4 C. for topping) Thin layer of Meat and Bean sauce ( Divide into Thirds)
  • Once you ended in your 3rd layer of meat; cover with aluminium foil and place in the oven for about 1 -1 1/2 hour.Mine typically takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and immediately uncover to top with your remaining cheese so it can melt; recover and allow to set for 5 or so minutes before serving.
