It&#8217;s impossible to eat all that spicy goodness without making at least <em>some <\/em>mess. If your family loves taco night as much as mine does, I recommend this easy taco casserole recipe. It&#8217;s all the best parts of taco night layered in one dish, so it&#8217;s quick to assemble, cook and serve. (In other words, it has the best qualities shared with all our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-casserole-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-casserole-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">casserole recipes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>For this recipe, we give ground beef a quick sear in a saucepan, then mix it with salsa, mayo and chili powder for a flavorful filling. The beef mixture is layered with cheese and crushed tortilla chips, then the casserole is baked until it&#8217;s perfectly crispy. Top off the homemade taco casserole with fresh tomatoes and lettuce before serving.

Shop in bulk, then separate the ground beef into 1-pound portions and freeze them to use later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salsa:<\/strong> Use a jar of your preferred store-bought salsa, or make your own with one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-salsa-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-salsa-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salsa recipes<\/a>.

It also prevents the meat from drying out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder:<\/strong> Add a touch of smokiness to the ground beef with 2 teaspoons chili powder.

You can also make it vegetarian by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/plant-based-meat\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/plant-based-meat\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plant-based meat<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add vegetables:<\/strong> Lots of veggies will work here, including frozen, canned or fresh corn, black beans or diced red peppers. You could also add diced jalapenos or a can of green chiles for heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer other toppings:<\/strong> Use your family&#8217;s most-requested taco toppings! So many things work well: sliced black olives, sour cream, mashed avocado, fresh cilantro or homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pickled-red-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pickled-red-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pickled red onions<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Taco Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftover taco casserole in an airtight container in the fridge. Unfortunately, the chips will lose their crunch over time, so plan to add more chips on top for some texture when you reheat a serving.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does taco casserole last?<\/h3>\n<p>Taco casserole lasts for up to three days when it&#8217;s stored properly in the fridge, but it&#8217;s really best the day it is made. You want all the chips at their crunchiest.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze taco casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze this taco casserole recipe, but since the chips will lose their crunch, we don&#8217;t recommend it. If you want to meal prep, assemble the casserole fully but leave out the chips. Then add all the crushed chips to the top of the dish once it&#8217;s already thawed, just before cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat taco casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>You can reheat your leftover taco casserole in the microwave or in the oven until it&#8217;s warmed all the way through and bubbling around the edges. Add some fresh, cool toppings after you reheat it for temperature contrast.<\/p>\n<p>If you do freeze your taco casserole, let it thaw overnight in the fridge before heating it in the oven. If it&#8217;s still slightly frozen, it could take up to double the time to heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make taco casserole ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>This dish can be partially prepared ahead of time, but since it&#8217;s best when the chips are still crispy, we recommend waiting to assemble the dish until you&#8217;re ready to cook it. Cook the meat and mix it with the seasonings, then have your other ingredients ready to go. When it&#8217;s almost time to eat, assemble the easy taco casserole recipe and have it ready in 30 minutes or less.<\/p>\n<h2>Taco Casserole Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2032584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Taco-Casserole_TOHVP24_1603_MF_08_09_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"3\/4th shot; black background; Taco Casserole in a long baking dish placed over wooden board with woodeb serving spoon;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make taco casserole with corn or flour tortillas?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make this easy taco casserole recipe with corn or flour tortillas instead of tortilla chips. It will be more like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/taco-lasagna\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/taco-lasagna\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taco lasagna<\/a>, but just as delicious. Tortillas make a great base, so line the bottom of the casserole dish with them, in addition to putting them in the middle and on top of the casserole. The top layer will get slightly crispy along with the melted cheese.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with taco casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>This dish is perfect as a stand-alone dinner because it&#8217;s filling all on its own. But it also goes great with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-side-dishes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-side-dishes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mexican side dishes<\/a> like rice and beans or <em>esquites<\/em>, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mexican-street-corn-salad-esquites-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mexican-street-corn-salad-esquites-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mexican street corn salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Which type of beef should you buy for this taco casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>Go with a lean ground beef if you prefer a leaner, less greasy final product. If you like a fattier meat with a little more flavor, go for a higher fat percentage. I personally love a 70\/30 blend, which is on the fattier side, but whichever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/which-ground-beef-is-best-for-burgers\/\"

I normally follow the recipe as written the first time and then tweek it. .  . Well I didn't have cream cheese.   I browned my meat and added a packet of low sodium taco seasoning and the water it called for.    Since I didn't have the cream cheese I used a whole jar of 12 oz salsa, a can of black beans (rinsed), freshly chopped jalapeno and tomatoes, and some corn.    I layered it as directed though I would be tempted to put a layer of chips on the bottom.   I did cover it while baking except for the last 5 minutes or so.  I was concerned that it would be dry since my meat mixture wasn't soupy.  Very good - every bit gotten eaten up by my college age children.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-08-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeBoomerang"},"reviewBody":"switched out mayo for sour cream, still tastes good:) defiantly make it again, super easy recipe!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-05-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueScooter"},"reviewBody":"Do yourself a favor and make a taco salad instead.
