TACO LASAGNA

Makes 2 - 13 X 9 inch pans. I usually get 4 dinners out of this by freezing leftovers in seperate containers
Pre-heat oven 375 degrees


Ingredients:
(I buy everything from Aldies)
3lb roll hamburger
4 cans refried beans
2 pkgs. Cheddar Cheese
3 pkgs. flour taco shells
3 pkgs. taco seasoning


Toppings
Sour Cream
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onion
Salsa or Taco Sauce


Chop Tomatoes, Onion and Lettuce (I tend to do this first and put them into bowls with lids in frig)


1:  Brown Hamburger, drain, add Taco Seasoning and cook according to package directions. I use taco mix that you just add water, nothing else. After meat is done place some liquid from meat into bottom of pans. Or you can use cooking spray that works too.
Cut two sides of 16 taco shells to make the corners of pan. Shells will look like a fan.
2:  Lay four shells on bottom of pan. 1 shell at each corner. Cut sides face outside of pan.
If you have any gaps use the cut leftover pieces, just slip them under
3:  Spread one can of beans on top of shells (I put one can of beans into a bowl and mix with a little water first to make them easier to spread, but not too much water. It will make them too soft.)
4:  Spread ¼ of meat on top of beans. (Does not have to cover completely).
5:  Sprinkle a hand full of Cheddar cheese on to of meat.


Now repeat steps 2 - 4 again for second layer. I add a little more cheese on the top layer.


Bake 375 degrees 30 minutes or until cheese on top is melted. Wait about 10 minutes after removing from oven before slicing.
Top pieces with Sour Cream, Tomatoes, Onion, Lettuce, Cheese and Salsa. Any order works
