This easy Taco Casserole recipe is great for taking to parties or church functions. Serve it with a side of fresh guacamole or black bean salsa. I love this recipe because it’s one of those that it’s easy to add or take away ingredients according to your taste or for whom you are making it for. This is also one of those great make ahead meals to bring to a family who just had a baby or maybe is coming home from the hospital.
It’s also one those recipes I can incorporate fresh veggies from my garden that I am growing. My kids love to be able to pick veggies out of our garden that they know they helped grow and then see how we incorporate them into our meals. Now that my kids are teenagers I am trying to get them in the kitchen more and more so that they have some basic cooking skills when it’s time for them to leave home.
