This lasagna was awesome. If your family like Mexican food this is a good recipe for you. I did substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta because that is our family's preference. I also did not add the green chilies because the little ones think they're to spicy. We like this better that regular lasagna and I didn't have trouble getting rid of the leftovers either.

So, I asked my boyfriend of 3 weeks what his favorite dish was because I was going to cook for him for the very first time. He said lasagna. I searched through Pillsbury for a dish and found Southwest Lasagna it was easy to make and the peppers gave tha lasagna a kick. To top it off he enoyed the meal.
