MEXICAN CASSEROLE
Some of my favorite dinners are quick & easy recipes that use minimal ingredients. Some days I have time to prepare a more time intensive time, but most days I am just desperately trying to get dinner on the table….. before it’s bedtime 🙂Â
Which is why this 5 ingredient Mexican casserole is one of our favorite easy dinners. It can be made, baked, and prepared all in 30 minutes.Â
Brown ground beef in a skillet pan, add a packet of taco seasoning and a can of fiesta corn. Don’t drain the corn because you need that liquid to cook with the taco seasoning.
Normally, you add water with taco seasoning but the undrained corn replaces the water and adds some great flavor.Â
Cover with some shredded cheese and lay crescent roll dough on top.
It’s like a cheesy taco with a buttery & flaky biscuit on top. Serve it alongside your favorite taco toppings like shredded lettuce, pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes, olives, jalapenos for some spice, sour cream, guacamole or avocado slices.
