Top with 1/3 white sauce, 1/2 remaining meat sauce, 1/3 Mexican cheese blend, and 1/3 Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering once more. Top Parmesan cheese layer with 1 layer more lasagna noodles, remaining white sauce, remaining Mexican cheese blend, and remaining Parmesan cheese. Pour water around edges of the dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until cheeses melt, about 10 minutes more. Let lasagna stand 10 minutes before serving.
