Oven-Baked Beef and Vegetable Burrito Lasagna

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 6 burrito wrappers
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, corn)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup water
- 1 chili pepper, minced
- 2 meatballs, crumbled
- 6 ounces lasagna sheets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the diced sweet potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and boil over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, approximately 8 minutes. Add taco seasoning and mix well.

4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables, crumbled meatballs, and minced chili pepper into the beef. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

5. Layering: In a baking dish, add a thin layer of tomato sauce. Place lasagna sheets to cover the bottom. Spread a layer of rice over the lasagna sheets, followed by seasoned ground beef mixture and sweet potato cubes. Add dollops of cottage cheese and sprinkle with a generous amount of shredded cheese.

6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of burrito wrappers, then repeat with another layer of rice, beef mixture, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese.

7. Top and Bake: Finish with a final layer of burrito wrappers, a sprinkle of cheese, and a drizzle of soy sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

8. Final Touch: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

9. Rest and Serve: Allow the burrito lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
