    Mexican Lasagna

    This has long been a favorite in my family! It’s a great meal that you can mix together the night before and bake the next day or pull from the freezer the day before. Also, it’s a great meal to give to someone as a gift for a celebration or bereavement gesture. Hope you enjoy!
