To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
