Mexican Lasagna - So Easy! image

We had the Missionaries and my nephew Scott over for dinner Friday night... All good eaters... along with our big family... They loved this! Noel and I made baked chicken, bar-b-qued pork chops, baked beans and frozen green beans from the garden as sides for the buffet! For desert, we had Jell-O Mell-O's. The entire meal...
