Tips:
- When browning the ground beef, use a large skillet over medium-high heat to prevent the beef from steaming. This will help to create a nice crust on the beef and add flavor to the casserole.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made taco seasoning packet. However, if you have the time, making your own taco seasoning is easy and will give you more control over the flavor of the casserole.
- Be sure to drain the corn and black beans before adding them to the casserole. This will help to prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch skillet or a 12-inch Dutch oven.
- The cornbread topping is optional, but it adds a delicious and hearty touch to the casserole. If you don't want to make the cornbread topping, you can simply sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the casserole before baking.
Conclusion:
Taco casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover taco meat.
