What In Tarnation Is For Dinner Tonight? Texas Taco Casserole!

Taco casserole has got to be one of my most favorite casseroles to eat and make. It is super easy to throw together and the ingredients are simple. However, don’t let that fool you because the flavors are bold and robust. I love serving this casserole with all of my family’s favorite taco toppings like salsa, sour cream, and guacamole dip. Yum! It’s like a party in a baking dish.

 

I agree casseroles are a mother’s best friend! They are easy to whip up and the kids love them, especially taco casserole.
