How to Make Bbq Lasagna

  1. Brown 1 lb ground chuck in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  2. Slice 1 lb Italian sausage into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), sausage, 1 bell pepper (chopped), 2 tbsp chili powder, and 1 tbsp cumin to the browned meat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 (24 oz) jar of your favorite picante sauce.
  5. Heat through and set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 15 oz ricotta cheese, 1 large egg, and 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes. Mix well.
  7. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  8. Layer 4 corn tortillas in the baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
  9. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  10. Top with 1/3 of the meat mixture, spreading evenly.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Repeat layers: 4 corn tortillas, remaining ricotta, 1/3 meat mixture, 1/3 cup cheddar cheese.
  13. Add a final layer of 4 corn tortillas and top with the remaining meat mixture.
  14. To ensure moist tortillas, pour 1/2 cup of water or beef broth evenly over the top layer.
  15. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese (about 1 cup).
  16. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes.
  17. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are tender.
