Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, or a dollop of the best guacamole.

We love all things taco flavored from an easy taco dip to our favorite taco soup! Take this easy taco lasagna to a potluck or an office luncheon! Make it even easier by assembling and baking it earlier! Just reheat it when you reach your destination!

How to Layer Lasagna

For this taco lasagna (made with noodles), start with the tomato sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. This keeps the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan and makes the portions come out easier!

The standard layering technique is sauce, noodles, sauce, noodles, cheese, noodles, sauce. Just remember to put a layer of noodles between each cheese and sauce layer to keep everything in place!

Once you have all the mixtures prepped, layering this taco lasagna dish is a breeze!

  • Beef Mixture: Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet.
  • Drain the fat and stir in the taco seasoning (or use homemade taco seasoning) and water. Cook until is evaporated and sauce is thickened.
  • Add the beans and veggies and cook the sauce mixture until heated thoroughly set it aside.
  • Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream and egg. Set aside.

Allow the casserole to rest about 10 to 15 minutes so it has a chance to set. Top with sour cream, tomatoes, sliced black olives, sliced green onions or jalapeños!
