Do you know what this is:

Shall I tell you?

Its what I termed "Nachos Lasagne"

see:

What you need:

For the mince layer

1kg mince

1 onion

1 carrot

1 large celery stick

Cayenne pepper

Paprika

3 cloves of garlic

White pepper and salt to taste

For the cheese layer

2 tubs chunky cottage cheese

1 tin mexican style tomatoes

½ small tub plain yoghurt

1½ circles of feta

1-2 tbs milk

For the rest of the layers

Jalapeños

1 bag Nachos Grande

½ bag grated cheddar

½ bag grated mozzarella

What to do:

Put the carrot, onion and celery in a food processor so its chopped very small. Fry it off in a little bit of sunflower oil. Add the mince and continue frying till almost cooked. Add garlic, spices and seasoning and cook for a bit longer until mince is fully cooked. Take off the heat.

Mix together all the cheese layer ingredients adding the milk until you get a nice consistency

Layer:

Start with a layer of cheesyness, followed by nachos and then mince. Top the mince with Jalapeños and repeat. I managed 2 layers in my baking dish. The last 2 layers must be nachos followed by cheese. Put in a hot oven for about 5 minutes then under the grill till brown and bubbly.

Enjoy!
