| Prep time | 1 1⁄2 hours |
| 12 | lasagna noodles (uncooked) | |
| 1 | Can | refried beans |
| 1 | Pound | ground beef (uncooked) |
| 2 1⁄2 | Cup | salsa (medium or hot) |
| 2 1⁄2 | Cup | water |
| 1 | Cup | cheddar cheese (shredded) |
| 2 | green onions |
By hand, mix the beans and the hamburger. Set aside. Stire together the salsa and the water. Set aside. In a 9x13 pan, layer in this order. Half cup salsa mixture, 3 and 3/4 lasanga noodles (3 lengthwise and the shrot piece across the end - do not overlap the noodles), 1/3 of the meat/bean mixture. Repeat twice more, ending with the noodles on top. Cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes in an oven preheated to 350°. Uncover and let bake another 10-15 minutes for water to finish evaporating. Sprinkle one cup cheese and the diced onions on top and return to oven until cheese melts. Serve with sour cream.
Do not use mild salsa for this recipe. Mild salsa gives no flavor to the finished dish.
