She’d argue with me perhaps, but I think that this is Renee’s favorite recipe on all of the CookingChew site. She worked on making this one the right combo of seasonings, and let it be known: she does not like spicy heat, so this has zero heat in the recipe. If you want any heat at all in this thing, you’ll have to add cayenne, or jalapenos, or chipotles, or any combination to raise the spice level.
Taco Casserole has just the right amount of spicy, salty, and savory that you’d expect from a taco, but you get to throw it together in one big 9×13. It’s packed with all the flavors you love in tacos—refried beans, sour cream, seasoned ground beef, and onions—but it goes above and beyond with its toppings: briny black olives (optional), tangy tomatoes, crunchy toppings like tortilla chips. The outcome is something so delicious that you won’t be able to stop thinking about it for days afterward.
So if you go mild instead of wild, this one’s for you.
Tater Tot Casserole is a magical dish that can make your childhood dreams come true. It’s crispy, crunchy tater tots resting on a bed of rich, creamy cheese sauce, lean ground beef, and seasonings. And if there’s one thing I boast about Tater Tot Casserole, it’s that it’s a crowd-pleaser—and this crowd-pleaser is not going to disappoint!
If you’ve ever been to Mexico or even just watched a movie about Mexico, then you probably know what Mexican Tortilla Casserole is supposed to taste like: flavorful, spicy, and savory. This one is our tried-and-true “layer cake” of tex-mex goodness. The rice and corn layer really make this one stand out.
And of course it’s got plenty of cheese. Check out the photos; it’s easy to stack and easy to cut once you let it sit for a bit after baking. It’s not new that so many people love Mexican fare—it’s got some heat in it, and it’s so satisfying without being too heavy.
For some, it may seem intimidating to cook at home because it seems more complicated than other foods. But this recipe proves that making Mexican food in your own kitchen doesn’t have to be difficult!
