A super quick weeknight dinner! Â Hash browns loaded up with taco flavors in this easy, cheesy, family friendly meal!
Guys. Everything about this casserole screams winter comfort. Â There is nothing I like more than hearty, cheesy goodness in the middle-o-winter.
I also love tacos (who doesn’t) and changing up that typical taco Tuesday with something different every once in a while.
This is like taco Tuesday that you can make taco Wednesday out of as well. Â It makes a BIG pan full. Â Easy dinner one night, tasty leftovers the next. Â Winning the week!
So, what do we have in this beauty?
I use frozen, thawed hashbrowns.
Taco seasoned ground beef.
Fiesta nacho cheese soup. I use Campbell’s brand, but you can pick what you like or check out my Homemade Cream of Mushroom if canned soup isn’t your thing.
Shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream.
Mix it all up, toss it in the oven, go nuts with toppings if that’s what makes you happy, and dinner is served. Boom.
So, so, stinking easy! Cozy, comfort food perfection.
Enjoy!
