Taco Casserole
This is a quick, easy casserole to put together and pop in the oven when you get home. When we get home late and don't feel like eating takeout, it is the perfect dish as it doesn't take long to make. Wait to mix the chips in until you are ready to put it in the oven. They will get soggy if you let them sit in the mixture too long.
Serve with small dishes of chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese to make it more festive and tasty. Serve a zesty salsa with it. Serve with a tossed salad and you will have a delicious, tasty meal.
