Change up taco night with a delicious twist! This taco casserole that you bake in the oven is a fantastic change up to taco Tuesday!
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!
Spread refried beans in a pie dish (sorry that totally does not look appetizing!! …but it tasted good!)In a large bowl mix tortilla chips, a TON of cheese (your choice, I had cheddar so I used it!) and beef. Mix togetherHave your two year old side kick add even more cheese!! You can never have too much!…remember it’s dairy!!! who cares about the fat!!…it’s good fat!Dice up a jalapeno pepper (I left in the seeds but only spread it on 3/4 of the dish because the little mouths around here say “spicy!”)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 minutesWa 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!
