Does your family enjoy Taco Night? This Taco Bake recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Foolproof Family Recipes is an easy way to switch up your Mexican fiesta. Double or triple the recipe and it is also a fantastic way to serve up a taco salad bar for a crowd!

Taco Bake

This family favorite starts by layering Chili Cheese Fritos, then taco meat, cheese sauce and topped with cheese that is baked to an ooey gooey perfection!

It is pretty much a Taco Casserole… I just love me a good casserole, don’t you? That could be because most casseroles involve one of my favorite foods– cheese.  And cheese makes everything delicious… especially Taco Bake 😉

See… easy peasy– and 0h-so cheesy (not to mention delicious)!

Serve up this Taco Bake casserole on a bed of lettuce and top with all the fixins that your heart desires!

Us? We love chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado– or our favorite guac, sour cream and/or taco sauce…. oh and a little salsa 😉

I usually half the original recipe for our family dinner, so the recipe below (what I usually make) is easily double or even tripled for a company.

    I’m think adding some cooked rice on top of the meat would be delicious! I would also use a homemade cheese sauce. I’m gonna have to try it!

    I like it better with nacho cheese, instead of the cheddar soup. Also like to add cilantro and green onion.

    I make a taco bake where I just add the lettuce before I cook it in the oven.

    This sounds so good. But I wonder: Why not layer it on a big tray with corn tortilla chips, add the yummy toppings (tomato, guac, onions, jalepenos’, and label it an “everything” Nacho–family style? It’s got all the good stuff in it!

    This was so good and easy to make. I added diced tomatoes with green chiles to the ground beef mixture and used Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup instead of the cheddar cheese and taco cheese blend instead of mozzarella. Topped with sliced black olives and dollop of sour cream before serving.

    Loved! I put the fritos on top during the last 5 minutes so they wouldn’t be soggy!
