Note :
  1. While pouring salsa/water mixture over top it is imperative that you cover the noodles as much as posibble so they don’t get dried out whilst baking.
  2. You have to spread at least a cup of beef mixture on the bottom of the baking dish or the noodles will stick with the bottom of the pan.
  3. You can use enchilada sauce with the salsa to pour over top, if preferred.
  4. Because the noodles aren't pre-cooked you can not add extra layers or there isn't sufficient moisture within the casserole to bake them through sufficiently.
  5. Baking time is approximate. Your oven may also take 1 hour or 2 hours relying on if it runs fast or slow. test for doneness by pricking noodles with a fork. If the noodles are tender, the casserole is cooked through.
  6. If you wish to precook your lasagna noodles, cook dinner handiest to al dente. Then sread the salsa over the top of the casserole without mixing it with water. Bake about 30-40 mins or till casserole is bubbly. Then spread with sour cream, add cheese, green onions, olives and tomatoes. Bake an additional 5-10 minutes or till cheese melts.
