    Here is a wonderful alternative to meat lasagna....the black beans add the protein, so this can be meatless and is just really great!
    Here is a tip for you....
    You are to use 1/3 of the bean mixture in each layer....that is about 1-3/4 cup/layer
    and the cheese mixture: about 1 cup/layer...
    Enjoy!
