Tips:

  • Make sure to use a large skillet to cook the ground beef and vegetables. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the meat and vegetables cook evenly.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked ground beef. Just be sure to brown it in a skillet over medium heat before adding it to the casserole.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Be sure to use a casserole dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients. A 9x13 inch dish is a good size.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese and diced tomatoes before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust and add flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.
