Easy Taco Casserole Recipe

This hearty casserole will please everyone around the dinner table, especially if you serve the toppings on the side and let people help themselves. Fire-roasted tomatoes give the usual mix of ground beef and taco seasonings a big punch of flavor. Choose a hefty corn tortilla, such as La Tortilla Factory brand, which will retain its texture and not break down while baking.
