5 from 1 vote

Chili lasagna combines the zesty flavors of chili along with the cheesy layered kid-favorite lasagna. Developed with the busy mom in mind, this recipe uses oven-ready noodles, canned chili beans for extra flavor, along with peppers and tomatoes to sneak in extra veggies without the kids realizing it. A great way to use leftover chili!
