Now that autumn, and cooler weather is almost upon us, I start to add more comfort food recipes to our meal plan. I have been thinking about bringing back my mom’s tradition of Taco Tuesdays, so I made this easy taco casserole for a test run!

This delicious taco bake was a big hit! It was so much easier and far less messy than regular tacos. It certainly solves the problem of getting your taco to stay upright while you fill it!! And, no crumbly shells with filling fall out to contend with!

The secret to this yummy casserole is the Bisquick topping! It rises up nice and fluffy, with a crispy brown top. Perfectly seasoned ground beef, onion, tomato sauce and corn make up the base layer. This is topped with a generous layer of grated cheddar cheese. All covered with the biscuit mix, and baked in the oven!

Prep time is minimal. Just a few minutes to brown the ground beef and shred the cheese and lettuce. It’s the perfect back to school dinner idea!

It’s also very easy to substitute regular ground beef for a vegetarian version such as Beyond Meat for your vegetarian guests!
