Philly & Veggie Revived Mexican Lasagna

This is a revived old time family favorite recipe.  While I was making this and chopping up all my fresh garden vegetables…it hit me….this is the perfect veggie revival side dish recipe….so I changed it up a bit and stirred in some PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese.  My husband took the first bite and said, “this is really good!”   I said, “ I changed the recipe”.   The tortilla chips are the perfect crunchy base layer for all the veggies.  The melted cheese holds it all together.  I think you’re gonna like it too!!

PHILLY & VEGGIE REVIVED MEXICAN LASAGNA
1 pound(s) of Hamburger
4 ounce(s) of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
pkg. taco seasoning
2 cup(s) of salsa
pkg. Cheese flavored Doritos
red or green bell peppers, diced
medium Walla Walla Onion, diced
tomatoes, diced
2 cup(s) of Kraft Cheddar Cheese, grated
Place hamburger in covered microwave dish and microwave for 6 minutes; stirring every 2 minutes, until browned. Drain the meat when cooked.
Dice all your vegetables while the meat is cooking. Keep them separate and set them aside.
Add the PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese to the hot meat and stir well, until completely melted. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa and set aside.
Spray a 9x13x2 inch glass baking dish. Pour a good amount of Doritos into the baking dish, press them down and break them up a little making a 3/4 inch layer of Doritos that completely covers the bottom of the dish.
Place in layers over the Doritos in the following order: meat mixture, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes and cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish as desired. Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa.
