Easy Taco Casserole
Taco Salad is one of those recipes that I can remember eating since I was a little girl. I always enjoyed it but never realized why I remembered it so well being a staple dinnerΒ in our home. Now that I’m a mom myself and realize just how yummy and easy it is, I know why it’s made so often. It can be changed up in so many ways, is easy to feed to lots of people and is usually enjoyed by all.
Today’s recipe has all the great taste of taco salad, but is in casserole form. Yes, this Potluck Taco Casserole is so delicious and has all the great flavor of taco salad making it a family favorite. My mom first made this casserole years ago but she recently just came across the recipe again so we knew we had to give it a go and share it with all y’all. The biscuit and ground beef base taste just like chips and beef in regular taco salad and the toppings make it taste just like it too. You can add all the ingredients you love but we usually add sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and olives!
Ground beef with taco seasoning.
The biscuit and ground beef base are what add so much flavor to the recipe.
How to Make Taco Bake Casserole:
Like I mentioned before, this recipe is kind of like a Navajo Taco, but in casserole form! It has all the same ingredients as a taco (with a biscuit layer instead of chips, tortillas, or fry bread).
- Ground beef
- Sour Cream
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Cheese
- Olives
You could even add a layer of:
- Refried Beans
- Black beans
- Salsa
- Diced Avocado
Just cook the ground beef over medium heat, drain, and add the taco seasoning according to package directions. Spread the meat on the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Beat the eggs, milk, biscuit mis, and pepper until well combined and pour over ground beef. Bake at 400Β° for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes, and then spread on sour cream. Top with your desired toppings (we do lettuce, tomato, cheese, and olives), and ENJOY!
Top it off with all your favorite ingredients – including lettuce, tomato, sour cream, olives and cheese.
The result is a delicious Taco Casserole that is perfect for dinner or your next potluck. Like me, it may bring back the tastes of childhood. π

Iβm Keto, is there anything I can use in place of the biscuit/baking mix? Almond Flour? Coconut Flour?
I am sure you could. I have not tried & am not familiar with all keto things, but you need ingredients that will make like a biscuit /puff up crust. Hope that helps!
Here’s a recipe for low carb mix using almond flour.

You are so sweet! Thank you so much!! I am happy you do π
Could I use Bisquick complete biscuits would I still need to add eggs and milk
That should be ok π
i was wondering if you could use cornbread instead of biscuits in the taco casserole
I personally haven’t tried that, but I am sure you could. It might give it a different texture, but it could be an option. Let me know what you think π Thank you!
I really enjoy your recipes
Thank you so much! I am so glad you do π
I think that cornbread in place of the biscuit mix would enhance the Mexican flavor. Also, would include some onion (either green or white), along with some salsa. Yummo!
Those would be great options π Enjoy!
Would love to hear how the corn bread turned out. What you used &measurements. Thanks
Would love to see more recipes
Would love to see more recipes and try different recipes
I have tons π Let me know what you think of ones you try!
Made the taco casserole tonight. We thought it was delicious I think next time I’d add onion but otherwise perfect. Just concerned we have leftovers not sure about reheating it tomorrow with the sour cream though?
It is fine reheated π Yes, you can totally add onions..we are not onion fans over here, but I do like to add onion powder.
Love these recipes
Thank you so much!!!
Looks yummy but oh my! I have to comment about your hair color in your photo. Such beautiful depth and color!! Love it. π

Looks great and yummy! I might try it with corn bread mix instead of biscuit mix though.
You sure could π Thank you so much!! Enjoy!
Just a question about Easy Chicken Enchiladas:
Can it be made first then frozen for later?
Taking kids and grandkids on a family vacation and looking for some easy, make ahead and freeze meals which will allow me to enjoy our time together but can provide them a delicious meal at the end of our busy day.
Yes, of course π Have fun on your vacation!! Hope they all love this dish!
Made this for a group of 8 on vacation . Easy and everyone liked it. I melted cheese on top last 5 minutes in the oven; then topped with sour cream, shredded lettuce, salsa and more cheese. Yummy recipe.
Perfect!! It’s great for a crowd π Thank you for sharing!
Could this casserole be refrigeratored and baked the next night?
I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not π
Can you use ground Turkey instead of ground beef?
You sure could π I haven’t tried, but that would taste great!
This looks delicious! You mentioned that you could add refried beans which I think would be very taste. How much would you add and would you put it on the bottom and the meat on top? Thank you in advance.
You could add them under or on top of the meat π That would taste great!
This looks very yummy! I will be making this for dinner tonight!
Could the biscuit mix be substituted with a cornbread mix?
Only because I have a ton of corn meal!
I haven’t tried, but one way to find out π I’m thinking it would be ok. This is so good, I hope you like it!
Just had the taco casserole awesome family loved it
I am so happy to hear that!! I am glad they liked it! Thank you so much for letting me know!
