Walking Taco Casserole

1. Top the casserole: Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with a dollop of sour cream and, if desired, a few spoonfuls of salsa for extra flavor. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
2. Serve and enjoy: Slice the casserole into squares and serve warm. This Walking Taco Casserole is perfect for a fun family dinner, and it’s great for leftovers as well. It’s a crowd-pleaser and can be paired with a side of guacamole, Mexican rice, or a simple green salad.

Notes

• If you prefer ground turkey or chicken, you can easily swap it for the ground beef in this recipe for a lighter option.
• For extra spice, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder to the ground beef mixture while cooking.
• This casserole can be made ahead of time! Assemble it in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s cold from the fridge.
• Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Other great additions include sliced olives, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce.
