EASY TACO CASSEROLE RECIPE
Ingredients
- 1.5 - 2 lb ground turkey or beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 16 oz cottage cheese
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Mix the ground meat and taco seasoning in a large casserole dish. Mine is 11 x 13. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the cottage cheese, salsa, and 1 cup of the cheese. Set aside.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and carefully drain the cooking liquid from the meat. Break up the meat into small pieces. A potato masher works great for this. Spread the cottage cheese and salsa mixture on top of the meat. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the meat is cooked thoroughly and the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Recipe Notes
- If your salsa or cottage cheese is very wet drain it a bit in a fine mesh strainer before making the sauce.
