Great recipe. Used all the ingredients listed. Will make again in the near future. Thanks for posting. -
We had this for dinner tonight and it was awesome!!! I also used the oven ready lasagna noodles. Because we love spicy foods, we used salsa refried beans and added some sliced jalapeños. -
yummy -
We really enjoyed this, it's a very nice change of pace from regular lasagna. I used "oven ready" noodles (so I skipped step 3) and they worked really well. I used some of the water in step 2 because my refried beans were very, very solid and I couldn't get things to mix. I didn't use olives because my daughter doesn't like them. All in all, a very nice meal. Thanks, Breeze144. -
This recipe looks delicious. (I assume that the directions should read 1/2 jar or can of sliced black olives). Since we all make mistakes and I'm sure that Art's Protege hasn't even tried this recipe yet, a comment only with no rating would have been more appropriate. I do hope that he/she will try it and then review it again fairly.

I like baking fun treats way more than cooking an actual meal! My favorite things to make are muffins, cookies and pancakes. Since joining Zaar I've been making awesome meals. I can't believe I'm marinating and grilling and cooking like never before!
My rating system:
***** - Fabulous! I loved it, everyone here loved it, and we can't wait to make it again! A keeper and a recipe I'd recommend.
**** - Nice recipe! 'Good' as opposed to 'great', but still worth making again!
*** - Not so hot. We didn't love it, but maybe it was just because of our palates. Won't make again, but not because there was something wrong with the recipe.
** - Disappointing. Something's not right, or turned out really bad or hardly edible.
* - Does this recipe need to be proof read? I think something was missing or there was a typo because this recipe is totally un-useable.
