Beef Taco Bake

Posted by Vanessa in Cooking, July 12, 2012

This isn’t anything fancy.  I mean, just look at it.

You won’t find this at a restaurant.

But I think it might just be a perfect weeknight dinner.  As in, it only requires about 10 minutes of hands-on time.  As in, my whole family loved it, from The Phoenix all the way to the baby.  As in, it tastes good.  We polished it off, no problemo.  It resembles an enchilada casserole, without all the prep time and messy kitchen aftermath.  It’s yummy and satisfying and would be great finished with some chopped cilantro.  (But I don’t have any because my cilantro plants are d-ead.  But that’s another story for another time.)
