This was very good. By far the best taco casserole I've made!! The only thing I did different was to use my homemade taco seasoning:)

This was very good tho I tweaked it a bit. I added in a medium chopped Vidalia onion, 4 cloves of garlic (fry wiith the beef), one cup of frozen corn. We used the kidney beans as stated but I think black beans would work better. i spooned in half the beef mixture added a cup of cheese on top and then topped it with rest of the beef. We love cheese so much that we'll probably double it next time.

Another 'No brainer.' Done this several times (or very close) for 'Pot Lucks.' Only thing I took home was an empty plate and a spoon for the dish washer.

Can't get better than that?

We too have been making this for years. I believe I received the recipe in 1987, from some 1986 cookbook that has long since been lost - but I know the recipe by heart because I used to make it at least twice a month while my six kids were growing up. It's a winner. Two of my six kids list it as a favorite.

I have been making this for years and it is a hugevfavorite in our family. I sometimes multiply it to bake in a 13x9 for pot lucks or reunions. In that case, I sprinkle slight crushed corn chip on the top as well. Thanks for sharing.
