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
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- 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.
- Chop onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat oil in the pan. Add ingredients to the pan. Heat until slightly translucent.
- Add sauce and chorizo to the pan with onion mixture. Keep on medium heat until heated through.
- Break egg into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mix.
- 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.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top of the meat.
- 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.
- 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.
