Recipe - Bean Lasagna [Layered Bean And Noodle Casserole]

1 cn Ff vegetarian refried beans
1 12 ounce bottle mild taco
Sauce
2 cn Stewed tomatoes, one
Drained, one not
1 cup Ff cottage cheese
1 cup Corn kernels, frozen is ok
10 To 12 lasagne noodles,
Uncooked
One fourth cup Black olives, cut or sliced up

In a bowl mix beans with about half the juice from one can of tomatoes and
a couple of tablespoons of taco sauce. You want the beans to be almost but
not quite pourable. Mix the rest of the taco sauce and tomato juice and set
aside.

Put about a quarter of the taco sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13"
lasagne pan. Cover sauce with a layer of noodles. Layer, in any order you
want, the beans, corn, cheese, drained tomatoes, sauce and noodles, being
sure to end up with enough beans to cover the top with no noodles showing.
The resulting mess should be pretty wet.

Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for about an hour, until the noodles
are tender. Check every 510 minutes after 45 minutes of cooking to see how
the noodles are doing. Remove foil, sprinkle with olives. Bake another
couple of minutes. Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serves 34 as a main dish. Tastes even better the next day.

Variation: If you want to precook the noodles, don't use as much tomato
juice and cook for only about 30 minutes.

Variation: Other veggies would work well in here too. What do you have in
the frig?

Variation: You could top it with a little ff cheesestuff in the last few
minutes. And no doubt you could make it vegan by leaving off all milk
products altogether.
