Beef Taco Lasagna

Tonights dinner will be Beef Taco Lasagna. This recipe makes two 13x9 pans, I am only making one.

24 lasagna noodles
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 envelopes taco seasoning
4 egg whites
2 cartons (15 ounces each) ricotta cheese
8 cups (2 pounds) shredded cheddar cheese
2 jars (24 ounces each) chunky salsa

Directions: Cook noodles according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning.

In a small bowl, combine egg whites and ricotta cheese.

Drain noodles.

In each of two 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes, layer four noodles, 3/4 cup ricotta mixture, half of the beef mixture and 1-1/3 cups cheddar cheese. Top each with four noodles, 3/4 cup ricotta mixture, 1-1/2 cups salsa and 1-1/3 cups cheese. Repeat.

Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months. Bake the second casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.

Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Bake as directed.
