This easy to make taco lasagna has all the classic taco flavors in the form of a tasty lasagna! Scroll down for the delicious recipe the whole family will love!

Growing up, I remember that before the school year started, my mom would start waking us up early a few weeks before summer ended and she would always say the same thing every morning: “levantarse ya que se acabadon las vacacione”. Then she would swing the door open and scream “que vaga”. I don’t focus too much on waking them up earlier because Joseph and Olivia do a really good job of waking everyone up at the crack of dawn.

Easy To Make Taco Lasagna

I’m putting all my energy into making sure our house is stocked with their favorite foods from Walmart and coming up with our weekly meal plan. It’s nothing complicated for us because we’re a busy household, so we stock up on stuff like Pace Salsa that adds a kick of flavor to our Taco Tuesdays (see below for my easy to make taco lasagna recipe).

For the other days, we have meals such as the delicious homemade tasting Prego Italian pasta sauce for Pasta Mondays, Chicken Noodle Soup for our traditional Soup Sundays, and V8 +Energy for me and my hubby.

The official back to school countdown has begun! Planning dinner in advance gives us something to look forward to and helps me know what to buy ahead of time.
