Tips

1. If you don't have any of our frozen roasted green chiles you can substitute in our Hatch Green Chile Roast. Or if you're feeling up to the challenge you can roast your own Fresh Hatch Green Chile!

2. If you don't have any Italian Sausage on hand ground beef will do.
3. For extra cheesy goodness pull the lasagna out of the oven 5 minutes early, remove tinfoil covering, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously. Return to oven and let the cheese melt and brown.
4. Try to overlap your noodles, this creates beautiful layers.
