Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
🥩 Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Drain excess grease.
Add taco seasoning and follow the package instructions (or your own mix). Stir in salsa and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.
🧀 Step 3: Make the Ricotta Layer
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Ricotta cheese
- Egg
- Oregano
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
Whisk until smooth and set aside.
🍲 Step 4: Layer the Lasagna
In the greased baking dish:
- Spread half the taco meat.
- Layer half the ricotta mixture on top.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of shredded cheese.
Cover with foil.
🧁 Step 5: Bake
Bake covered for 25 minutes. Then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
⏲ Step 6: Rest, Slice & Serve
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes to set. This helps it slice cleanly.
Top with:
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Sliced olives
- Fresh cilantro
Optional: Add a dollop of sour cream for extra richness!
