You can make this dish ahead--just cover and refrigerate or freeze after you've spread the final layer of marinara sauce. Serve with a salad and breadsticks to round out the meal.
Pork shoulder slow cooks in a sauce of orange juice, guajillo chile peppers, vinegar, garlic, and achiote paste to deliver traditional Mexican flavor with relatively low effort.
Everyone loves a good makeover, especially cheesy noodles layered with ground beef, marinara, green peppers and melty sharp Cheddar. Better-for-you and easier, too.
I got this recipe from my friends mom who owns a Mexican Bakery. When they made these one day for my family they loved them - even my brother who is sooo picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although they are a little time consuming it is well worth it at the end!
Make this classic lasagna recipe zestier by using hot Italian sausage or a little milder with regular Italian sausage. Don't be scared off by the long cooking time. The wait is well worth it. It's a great dish to make for a crowd and easy to adjust for varying tastes. The leftovers are even better when reheated the next day.
