Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
-
Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer the chili for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
To assemble the Chili Lasagna, spread a thin layer of the chili mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the chili.
-
Add another layer of the chili mixture over the noodles, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering process until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the chili mixture and a generous amount of cheddar cheese on top.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Once baked, let the Chili Lasagna rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
