The Chips On Top Are Just The Tip Of The Iceberg…This Taco Casserole Is Loaded With Flavor!!!

We’ll be honest, we definitely gave ourselves a pat on the back after this killer recipe. We’re die-hard Mexican fans – we’d eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if we could – and we love coming up with new and improved recipes that exude our favorite flavors…this taco casserole is one of the best, if we do say so ourselves.

Filled with beef, onion, corn and chilies, we added a spicy, creamy dip-like sauce on top (which we’d eat out of a bowl, no questions asked) and topped this bad boy off with Doritos, which add the perfect amount of crunch. When we say this stuff is good, we mean it…try it and see for yourself!
