Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium, white onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-5 medium sized russet potatoes
  • 1 jar all natural salsa
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp chipotle powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne powder
  • ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with olive oil.
  • Dice the onions and peppers and add them to the hot pan.
  • Cook the onions and peppers for 3-5 minutes, or until they soften and the onions turn translucent.
  • Add the meat and spices to the pan.
  • Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until meat is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, scrub, dry and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. They should be about 1/16-⅛ inch thick. Lay 1 layer of them down in a casserole dish, mine is roughly a 10x13 inch oval dish.
  • When the meat and veggie mixture is cooked, layer ⅓ of the mix into the dish and cover the potatoes.
  • Cover with ⅓ of the jar of salsa. Repeat this process twice more and place the "lasagna" into the oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove, sprinkle with the cheese, and place back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are soft.
    Let cool, slice and dig in!
