Quick Weeknight Taco Casserole

If you are pressed for time during the week, you need to try this quick weeknight taco casserole!

Good morning friends! If you are coming over from Tiffany at Joyfully Rooted I am so glad you are here. I cannot wait to try her simple, fancy grilled cheese. Doesn’t it look amazing?

Today, I wanted to share one of our family’s very favorite weeknight meals. With my husband and I both being full-time teachers and coaches, we typically don’t get home until 7 PM each night during the week. So, in an effort to make things a little bit easier at the house when we get home, we created a few recipes that are our staples. Our quick weeknight taco casserole is a huge favorite. I love that you can just put all the ingredients together and it literally takes about 10 minutes. I also love that you can change it up each time just by changing a few simple ingredients. For example, sometimes I use regular Fritos as opposed to Chili Cheese Fritos. Another alteration I make from time to time is instead of refried beans I use black beans. Other times I completely cut out the corn. See what I mean? It’s perfect because it’s so easy to change up.

What is a go-to meal for you during the week? One that you just don’t even have to think about, you just put it together and viola! Is it a taco night, spaghetti night, or something else? I’d love to hear your go-to meals in the comments below. It’s so fun to me when we all share our ideas and help each other out. Us mommas need all the help we can get don’t we?

Praise the Lord!!

Again, my hope is that this adds just one recipe to your rotation and makes life a little easier. Bon Appetit! Here are similar plates to these if you are interested.

Alright, are y’all ready to get into it? Let’s do it!

• First thing you are going to do is brown the meat and onion. I double this recipe because we are a family of 6 so I use 2 lbs of meat.
• Then you will drain the grease and then add water and taco seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes.
• In 9×13 pan, place beans of your choice.
• Add sour cream on top of the beans.
• Add meat on top of sour cream.
• Spread guacamole to the top of the meat.
• Add drained can of corn.
• Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese then place in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Take out of oven and add olives, tomatoes and fritos.
• Place back in oven for additional 5 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and then add lettuce and additional cup of cheese.
• SERVE WARM!

Doesn’t this quick weeknight taco casserole look delish? You will absolutely love it and the kids will be HUGE fans. You may even win that Mother of the Year award. For some reason, that award always escapes me. Oh well! Mama tried, am I right?
