Looking for a dinner that’s packed with flavor and super easy to whip up? You’ve got to try this Chorizo Lasagna recipe! It’s a game-changer, and perfect for a hearty meal after a day of camping or exploring. The chorizo adds just the right amount of mild spice, while a touch of paprika gives it a smoky kick that really elevates the dish.

What makes this lasagna even better? Cottage cheese! It brings a delicious creaminess that balances out the spiciness. For our version, we went with pepper jack cheese, which definitely adds a bit of heat. But, if you’re not into spicy foods, no worries! You can easily swap it out for a taco blend or shredded cheddar for a milder, but still flavorful, option.

Ingredients

  • 1 box lasagna noodles ready-bake
  • 1 pkg chorizo (Mexican sausage, mild or medium), 16 oz.
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 md yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 can favorite spaghetti sauce, 24 oz.
  • 1 pkg cheese (pepper jack cheese- if you like spicy), 8 oz.
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lg container of cottage cheese, 24 oz.
  • 1 egg

How To Make Chorizo Lasagna

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium pan heat chorizo (if in casing remove casing – we only need the filling :D). Cook through and pour it into a dish to set to the side for now.
  3. Chop onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat oil in the pan. Add ingredients to the pan. Heat until slightly translucent.
  4. Add sauce and chorizo to the pan with onion mixture. Keep on medium heat until heated through.
  5. Break egg into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mix.
  6. Spray casserole dish with Pam/grease with butter/whatever you prefer (I like Pam). Layer some of the meat until it covers the bottom of the dish.
  7. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the meat.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese mixture next and spread. Then place the bake-ready lasagna strips over that (covering the cottage cheese). Finish this layering process and end with either meat or cottage cheese. Top with remaining cheese, salt, and pepper.
  9. Pop in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check it – if it’s bubbling, it’s done. Let sit for about 10 minutes or more. Enjoy!

The best part? The layers of flavors come together perfectly, making each bite a tasty blend of savory goodness. Whether you’re at home or out camping, this chorizo lasagna is a winner every.
