I got this recipe many years ago from a Home Economics teacher. It is an excellent dish for those who like things spicy. For the uninitiated, use less chili powder. This is a good dish for pitch-in meals, potlucks, church socials, etc. as it feeds several. It is also just a good family dish. It makes a great meal when you add a salad. For dessert serve something light and cool like the Pineapple Mallow recipe below.CHILI LASAGNA1 pkg lasagna noodles1 lb ground beef1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper1/2 cup chopped onion1 can diced tomatoes with the juice1/4 cup chili powder3 8-oz cans tomato sauce1 tsp salt1/4 tsp black pepper1 pkg (8-oz) cheese slices, cut into stripsCool lasagna noodles according to the package directions and drain well.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Saute beef, bell pepper, and onion in a skillet for 10 minutes or until the beef is browned and the veggies are crisp tender. Drain. Return mixture to the pan and add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and set aside. In a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, arrange a layer of lasagna noodles. Put a layer of the meat mixture then a layer of cheese over the noodles. Repeat the layers, ending with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
