For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture or use a hotter salsa. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. If you don't have Pepper Jack cheese, Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese work well too. To prevent the noodles from sticking, you can lightly grease the bottom of the baking dish. This lasagna can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
