In the Dominican Republic this dish is made with boiled mashed ripe plantains. The dish is often called Dominican casserole or ripe plantain casserole using typically Dominican style [[picadillo]] and [[Cheddar cheese|cheddar]] cheese. A layer of mashed [[cooking banana|plantain]] is placed at the bottom of a baking pan and covered with picadillo and cheddar. Another layer of mashed plantain is placed on top with picadillo and cheddar. The dish is then covered with aluminum and baked for an additional 35-45 minutes. |

In Puerto Rico pastelón is considered a Puerto Rican lasagna. Sweet plantains are peeled cut lengthwise in to strips and fried. The plantain replaces lasagna pasta. Minced meat is sautéed with most notably bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, basil, parsley, olives, capers, raisins, garlic, and wine. Plantains are then placed at the bottom of a baking pan layered with meat filling, mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, [[bechamel sauce]] or [[marinara sauce]]. This is then repeated about two more times making layers just like a lasagna. It is then baked. Plantains can be replaced with [[Sweet potato|batata]] or boiled mashed yuca. |

Vegetarian pastelón is popular as well replacing meat with mushrooms, eggplant, squash, string beans, potato or [[chayote]]. |
