I don't know about you, but I love lasagne. Lasagne is such a great dish for the family. Serve it in the middle of the table and you can all dig in with some additional sides to make it an amazing meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexican Lasagne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Spicy Mexican Chicken Lasagne is one of my favourites. I am not a huge fan of ground (mince) chicken or turkey on its own, but in this lasagne, the combination of the layers of pasta with a spicy Mexican sauce and melted cheesy goodness on top will amaze anyone's taste buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjusting the Spice Level in Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It does have a spicy kick to it from the cayenne, but not too spicy that it is too hot to handle, my kids devour their serving and you gotta love a recipe that you know the whole family can enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can totally adjust the spice level too, omit the cayenne if you can't handle any heat or add in bit extra if you like it super spicy. Hell, you could even add some sliced Jalapeno's to the top along with the sliced tomatoes if not level of hotness is too hot for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batch Cooking Lasagne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Spicy Mexican Chicken Lasagne is also a great one for batch cooking, either make up the entire lasagne in a single dish to freeze layer or use some handy food prep containers and freeze in little single portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work a busy schedule and don't have time to get this all ready on the night? Prep it all the night before and then as soon as you get in from work, you can just bung it in the oven to bake and it will be all ready come dinner time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a lower carb version of Lasagne<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to make this lower carb?  Replace the pasta sheets for something like butternut squash or zucchini slices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meat Variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't like ground chicken or turkey? you could also try this with ground beef or even some shredded cooked chicken breast or thigh. Either would be equally yummy. If you are vegetarian, this would also be yummy made with Quorn or meat replacement, or even some mixed beans and corn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
