Are you tired of the same old taco night routine? We’ve got you covered! Introducing our Cheesy Taco Casserole, where all your favorite taco components come together in one hearty dish. Say goodbye to soggy taco shells and cold meat – this casserole has it all!
Instead of using tortillas or taco shells that tend to get soggy, we’ve discovered a tasty compromise – biscuit mix. The biscuit dough adds a delicious taste and texture to the dish. Plus, it’s sturdy enough to hold all your favorite toppings. Feel free to get creative and add whatever toppings you love!
We’ve kept it classic with a combination of sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and cheese. The layers of seasoned beef, hearty biscuit, and toppings create the perfect taco experience in every bite. Trust us, you won’t be able to resist!
