My son came to me with this idea that we should start making casserole-style dinners that make lots of leftovers. Teens eat a lot and leftovers make it so easy to get a meal really quickly. If you love leftovers too, try making this Mexican Lasagna recipe.

I was immediately on board because of several reasons. For one, it means less work for me. Also, we can feel great about implementing this idea because the kids are eating HEALTHY foods instead of snacking.

What I love about this dish is how easy it is to make and that it seriously tastes like million bucks! Every bite is scrumptious and leaves you wanting the next one. Plus, it’s a taco, so that tells you right there it has to be amazing!

For this recipe, I used my 8 quart Instant Pot. I use the larger size because it helps me make a lot of food so that we have leftovers. If you have a smaller family, or picky eaters who don't like leftovers, you can easily use a smaller one.

Here is a picture of the ingredients I used except the small can of roasted green chiles. Note this is not an endorsement of any brand, I am just showing what I used.

Instructions:

• 

• 

Step 1: Add oil, ground meat, onion, and pepper to the Instant Pot. Cook on Sauté for 8 minutes until the meat is browned.

Step 2: Add the taco seasoning, beans, diced tomatoes. Mix well.

• 

Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and add the pasta. Stir so that all of the pasta is submerged in the broth.

Step 4: Close and lock the Instant Pot. Cook on manual for 6 minutes. It will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before it cooks. When it is done cooking, allow the steam to vent out the nozzle. Open when the steam is done venting out.

Step 5: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix well. Serve in bowls and garnish with sour cream and cilantro.

To make this recipe stovetop: In a large pot, add your ground beef, onion, pepper, and light oil and cook 5-8 minutes until the meat is browned. Add the broth, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and black beans and cook 8-10 minutes until the pasta is done cooking. Every brand of pasta has different cook times so check the box directions.
