Easy Taco Casserole
We LOVE tacos! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t, actually. Many of us aren’t picky about how we eat them but sometimes you wanna mix things up. That’s all I did here. I wanted something creamy, cheesy and easy – so we made a casserole!
Layered Taco Bake
Sometimes it’s just easier to toss everything into a dish and bake it off, am I right? No need to build a taco, just bake everything and then scoop it up. I like this recipe because we are layering everything, lasagna-like, and in less than 30 minutes, you’ve got yourself a delicious meal.
Easy Taco Bake Recipe
After browning your ground meat (we used ground turkey), add some canned tomatoes, taco seasoning, beans and corn. Using tortillas, we then layered the meat sauce with a creamy salsa, and lots of cheese. Then bake it to melty goodness, and finished it off with our favorite toppings.
Toppings for Taco Casserole
Any of your favorite taco toppings will work for this recipe, too! Here are some ideas:
- Lettuce

Didn't have cream cheese, substituted Greek yogurt and substituted turkey for chicken (doesn't change the flavor much). Turned out great, can't wait to try it with the cream cheese!!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
