Taco Casserole

"My husband doesn't usually make much of a fuss over my cooking but after tasting this casserole, he stopped watching a basketball game (gasp!) and said, "Hey! Where'd you learn to make this? This is really good." So, I had to try and put down the recipe while I can remember how I made it. Since I didn't measure anything, the amounts are an approximation but they should be close. This made enough to feed 4 people heartily."

  1. Very good, and very easy! Made to use up leftover taco fixings, my ingredient list was a little different, but what a great thing to do with all of the taco night leftovers! My fiance and I both enjoyed this. I'll probably be making this many times. Served with spanish rice, and garnished with sour cream and shredded lettuce (also leftovers from taco night).
     
  2. This was easy to make and tasty. I omitted the green pepper for personal preference. I thought it was a little mild, and I'm not into hot food. I used mild salsa and mild taco seasoning, but next time I will try a spicier seasoning packet. Thanks!
     
  3. This was such a yummy casserole. I served Spanish rice with it and it made such a good meal. Very easy to make. Thank you!
