Mexican Lasagna (Crockpot, duh)

I guess Sunday turned into Mexican Sunday. Oh well :)

1 Box Whole Wheat Lasagna

Greek Yogurt+Spices

2 tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp Cumin
1 tsp Onion Salt
1 tsp Oregano
2 cloves crushed Garlic
3 cups nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cups shredded cheese
24 oz Red Salsa
2 cans black beans
1 cup Salsa verde (the green salsa)
Juice from 1/2 lime
1 large onion
2 Green Peppers

So I know the ingredient list looks overwhelming but its really not. If you don't have all the spices on hand and don't feel like dealing with it, just go ahead and buy one f those taco seasoning packets and you are good to go.

Mix the greek yogurt and the spices in a mixing bowl. Then add in the shredded cheese and the Red Salsa. This should be pretty watery from the Salsa but that's what you want. Taste this mixture and make sure its spicy enough or mild enough to your liking.

In a separate bowl mix the black beans, the Salsa verde and the juice from the lime. I think I ended up using the entire lime bc I like the tang. Set aside.

Chop up your onions and green peppers. You're now ready to assemble


Use your empty Salsa Jar, Fill it with water and sort of mix it around to get all the remains from the salsa, and put a little of this on the bottom of the crock pot, about 1/4 cup. Then begin the assembling.

Break the noodles to fit into the crock pot. This won't be perfect but it doesn't matter. Then layer some yogurt mixture, then some chopped onion/green pepper, black bean mixture, a little more yogurt then noodle.

Repeat. For the top layer, I did noodle, some chopped onion/pepper and the yogurt sauce.

Cook on low for 4 hours. The great thing about this meal is there is 0 meat. I waited for Alex to be about half-way through to tell him, his response: " what... there's no meat?"Basically all the veggies and the beans make it so hearty no one has any idea whats going on. You could also layer in some Spanish rice if you wanted but I like the beans and veggies.
