This taco casserole is layers of tortilla chips, and beef, all topped with plenty of cheese and baked to perfection. Add your favorite taco fixings such as lettuce, tomato, and olives for a hearty and family-friendly meal!
I love to do taco night for dinner, but sometimes when I’m in a hurry, I just layer all the ingredients in a dish and bake them together, which is how this taco casserole came to be. This recipe has all of the components of tacos in the form of a cheesy casserole. You can even add your favorite taco fixings on top to take this dish to the next level!
On my quest to find new recipes that my family will love and easy to make! I hit a home run with this one. Lisa couldn’t leave the taco mixture alone, long enough for me to make the casserole! Yes, its that good! This is one of those casseroles that would be fun to make with your kids! They can crumble up the chips and feel like they made the dinner and you get a little quality time with your cuties!
