Those looking for a hearty winter dish to warm you right down to your toes need look no further than Texas Lasagna. Stan McDonald, The Texas Chef, shared this recipe on his website, with unique Lone Star State-focused ingredients and a take on a traditional pasta dish you won’t be able to put down!

This recipe calls for the use of the lasagna noodles that are boiled and then set accordingly within the dish. However, as many of you know, some lasagna dishes can be made with the kind that you don’t have to pre-cook. It’s really your call as to whether you want to make the substitution. Just be cognizant of the fact that your selection may require a longer cooking time and may, in fact, alter the finished product that McDonald has shared. That being said, the cumin, chili powder, and black beans in this dish are something completely divergent from what one would consider traditional lasagna! But, hey, this is Texas Lasagna! You’re going to want to sit down and fully enjoy every savory bite of this tasty Texas creation.
