Southwestern-style and built like a casserole, this 12-ounce frozen tray layers seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, and pasta in the familiar stacked format. Instead of a ricotta-heavy filling, the layers lean savory and bean-forward, with cumin and chili notes showing up in the seasoning. Tortilla crumb topping stands in for the usual cheese cap, so the top bakes up with a drier, crumbly texture rather than a browned crust. In Great Value's frozen lasagna lineup, it's the one that borrows most clearly from Tex-Mex casserole, and it microwaves in about six to seven minutes.
