Chili Lasagna


Chili Lasagna is very easy & makes for interesting way to eat Chili... Lasagna. To say the least this brings together two of my favorite foods. The first step to this recipe is simply make your favorite chili. I prefer to have mine spicey!
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, thinly chopped
2 (16-ounce) cans red beans, drained then rinsed
2 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
1 (4-ounce) can Diced Green Chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  1. 1. Cook and drain the ground beef, onion and garlic in large skillet until beef is browned.
  2. Preheat over to 375 degrees
  3. 2. Add the beans, diced tomatoes, chiles, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Cook, stirring frequently, for 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Then Layer four sheets of barilla lasagna noodles and cover evenly with chili. Be sure to crush two hand fulls of saltine crackers between each layer to absorb access moisture & to give the dish stability. Do this until backing is layer to the top (4 sheets of lasagna noodles/chili, 4 sheets/chili). This should amount to four layers of four sheets.
  5. Once the backing dish is full bake at 375 for 45 min.
  6. Remove dish & cover with shredded cheese & a scope of sour cream.
