Does your family enjoy Taco Night? This Taco Bake recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Foolproof Family Recipes is an easy way to switch up your Mexican fiesta. Double or triple the recipe and it is also a fantastic way to serve up a taco salad bar for a crowd!
This family favorite starts by layering Chili Cheese Fritos, then taco meat, cheese sauce and topped with cheese that is baked to an ooey gooey perfection!
It is pretty much a Taco Casserole… I just love me a good casserole, don’t you? That could be because most casseroles involve one of my favorite foods– cheese. And cheese makes everything delicious… especially Taco Bake 😉
Taco Bake
See… easy peasy– and 0h-so cheesy (not to mention delicious)!
Serve up this Taco Bake casserole on a bed of lettuce and top with all the fixins that your heart desires!
Us? We love chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado– or our favorite guac, sour cream and/or taco sauce…. oh and a little salsa 😉
I usually half the original recipe for our family dinner, so the recipe below (what I usually make) is easily double or even tripled for a company.
