"Made this the other night for supper and my family just loved it. It is just as much muss and fuss as making tacos, but it is a very good variation."

  1. I already had a taco casserole recipe that I found on this website but this one intrigued me! I only used 1/2 lb extra lean ground beef, 1/2 pkg taco seasoning mix & 1/2 cup taco sauce. I also ended up only needing 1 1/4 cups crushed tortilla chips; same amount with the cheese-I felt that got the taste across without sacrificing taste. So I used 1 cup chips & 1 cup cheese in the casserole & sprinkled 1/4 cup chips & 1/4 cup cheese on top after baking it for 20 min. Worked out great & tasted wonderful. This will be my new taco casserole! Thank you!
