Kristopher's Taco Macaroni Casserole. image

This recipe was inspired by Derf's Belly Buster Recipe. It has been heavily modified in ingredients and procedure. I feel the recipe now qualifies as a new recipe. Thank you to Derf for the inspiration :D This version of the recipe is being named for my son Kristopher ( 13 at the time of writing ) who helped me tonight in making all the revisions. Thank you Honey!:D

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would cut back on the cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of casseroles, but this one was pretty good. The taco seasoning gave it a nice kick and the cheese was gooey and melted perfectly.

This casserole was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was mushy. I wouldn't make it again.
