Lasagna Corn Carne

I made this the other night when I had 4 of my nephews and nieces over for supper and my mother in law. I doubled it just in case one pan wasn't enough for the 11 of us... It wasn't needed, not because it wasn't any good, but because it was so delicious and filling! All the kids ate it, all 8 of them! and the extra pan was perfect for the daycare kids the next time they came over. It was a great meal paired just with a salad and of course an ice cream cone for dessert! :)
