Taco Lasagne

One thing I love about making casseroles is that IT Guy will take leftovers in his lunch. He's always been so good about leftovers. I think he got that from his dad. And if the casseroles have any kind of Mexican flair to them..then he's in heaven. This was really good. So easy to make and you can switch up what you add to it. If you don't need a huge pan full, split it up between two smaller ones and freeze one for later...or give it away to a friend!
