Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I use oven ready or no-boil lasagna noodles to save time. You can use regular noodles as well, just run them under hot water and then run fingers down them; and assemble.
It's important to cover it tightly when baking. This kind of steams the noodles with the salsa.
Freezing: This freezes great! To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator for 8 hours and then bake as directed
