Lunch today consisted of spicy creation of Mexican Lasagna.. I was in the mood for spicy , so I took out some of my jalepeno's that I put in the freezer from my garden this year, diced them up, some seeds and all, cooked with hamburger, onions, garlic, and tomatos that I had also canned this summer.. Cooked that down in some poblano chile juice that I also " canned .. Then added chopped olives, and celery that I sauteed.. Made it like a regular lasagna, though I used pepperjack cheese, cheddar, and a little mexican blend that I had left.. Baked it along with pepperjack/cheddar butter bread..Yummo!!

quiltlonger, it wasn't even that spicy when it was all cooked, oh well. It was good though, very good.. just played with the ingredients I had on hand, and in the pantry - came up with this since I love to make any type of lasagna..

Yum that sounds good. I make one similar to that.....Fry hamburger meat,add diced jalapenos and tomatoe sauce/paste with a bit of water, add salt and garlic salt. Cook noodles in separate pot or buy the noodles you don't have to cook (lots simpler) layer noodle then meat sauce then Mozeralla cheese, and continue layering until ingredients all in with the final layer being mozerella cheese. Place in oven long enough for cheese to melt and eat. I buy french bread and as the cheese is melting warm that up with butter (my daughter actually mixes her butter with garlic and puts it on the bread) Umm guess I'm hungry now gonna see what I can fix for lunch.

Thats pretty much what I do with any of the types of Lasagna I make.. I do buy the no bake noodles, as they are MUCH easier, and faster.. I especially love making an apple Lasagna for dessert for when company comes.. I use apple slices, and apple pie filling, along iwth sweetened ricotta cheese, and cinnamon, nutmeg, ect.. I use the same mozerella cheese between layers, too.. its a very rich, and homey type dessert..
