Tips:

  • If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and then refrigerate it overnight. Bake it as directed the next day.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
