    This recipe was a hit! My kids loved it, and it was so easy to make on a busy weeknight.

    I added some black beans and corn to the beef mixture, and it was delicious! Definitely making this again.

  • Jaren Grant

    The corn tortillas are a great alternative to pasta. It makes the lasagna gluten-free!

  • Stacy Dare

    I thought it was a bit bland, so I added some hot sauce. Next time, I'll use a spicier salsa.
