We had left overs from the Mexican Tostadas the night before. So I ran sacked my fridge and pantry and pulled together anything that made sense going together to create this Taco Casserole Bake! It was delicious!

I also poured the nacho cheese dip from the jar on top (only because I had it and it was almost gone)…it made a world of a difference! I now considered this a must!! *Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

Wa laa!!! Add a dollop of sour cream, homemade salsa and freshly cut cilantro (not pictured) and enjoy! (mmmm notice that melted cheese!!!)

I know that this totally seems like a “duh” dish to make! But I have never made one that tasted as good as this one! We all really enjoyed this!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Busy dreaming of that cheese…
