Mexican Lasagna Recipe

1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup

In medium bowl, stir together cheddar cheese soup, milk and half the fajita seasoning, mixing until mixture is smooth.

In skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, crumbling with fork, until browned. Pour off any fat.
