Taco Tortilla Casserole

This Taco Tortilla Casserole is another great recipe that uses only 1 lb of hamburger. Amazing spices blend for a tasty way to feed the fam.

This Taco Tortilla Casserole was a throw together meal in every sense of the phrase.  Of course, if you have read my posts before, you know I throw a lot of meals together.  Because, really, who has time for anything else some days.  Quick, easy, family friendly recipes is where it is at now.

Of course, when you add “taco” to the title the dish has to be good.

I know you know this, but taco anything is my favorite.  Tacos, taco potato casserole and taco soup are only a few of the taco meals I put on our family menus. Taco tortilla casserole came about when I realized it was too late in the day to start taco soup and I didn’t want to use 2 lbs of hamburger for regular tacos. (Hey, I have a teenager now.)  Coming up with different casseroles to make definitely helps with the budget.

This taco tortilla casserole has all the flavors and ingredients as taco soup, but in casserole form.  Which is how I described it to my children.  Instantly, they went from “what are you trying to serve us mom” to “oh good, it’s like taco soup?”.

Remember Moms: it is all how you present things sometimes. 😉

I chose to use black beans in this casserole.  You can certainly use chili beans or even kidney beans if you want to.  The level of spices also depends on your family tastes.  I tend to use about 1/2 package of seasoning.

Give this quick casserole a try.  It is another way to eat a taco. {Not to mention use up tortilla chip crumbs!}
