Quick & Easy Taco Burger Casserole

"A new twist on an old favorite! Feeds a family of 6-8, and is great on a cold winter night. I came up with this recipe when I was trying to get my husband to eat more family-style casserole dishes (he's not a fan of casseroles). I served it right out of the oven, bubbling hot, with a slice of crusty french bread and a small dinner salad. He ate three helpings and told me that I should definitely put "that one" in my recipe box."

  • Cook macaroni noodles according to package directions for al dente, drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onion, drain. Return meat mixture to skillet, stir dry taco seasoning mix into meat mixture along with water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally, for 10 minutes. Add the corn, tomato soup, cheddar cheese and cooked macaroni noodles to the meat mixture and stir until well blended. Turn mixture into a greased, large oblong casserole dish.

  1. Super, super good! Huge hit with the kids too! Decided to top off with crushed tortilla chips, diced fresh tomato and more cheese in the last 15 minutes of baking. Really added that "taco" flavor!
     
  2. I used some leftover seasoned ground beef that we used for tacos; also had some leftover corn from another night. Cut the recipe in 1/2 and mixed up for lunch tomorrow. I mixed it all and will bake tomorrow. I did have to sample a few bites and it is great! I like the tomato soup rather that tomato sauce, it tastes less acidic. Made for I Recommend Tag.
     
  3. Great recipe. Very kid pleaser. My son loved it. I used mozzarella cheese. I didn't put it in the oven. We were too hungry. Thanks zbigbass :) Made for Cookbook tag game
     
  4. Family really enjoyed this! I doubled the meat and pasta for this, used rotini instead of macaroni, and omitted the corn. Really tasty and cheap to make, so it'll definitely be added to our big book of recipes! Thanks!
     
  5. This was, again, a recipe that I needed to halve. I used frozen corn, homemade taco seasoning (so I was able to control how much, as we do tend to like a little more than called for), and instead of tomato soup, I used diced tomatoes and a little tomato paste. I did use the green pepper option. Thnx for sharing your recipe, sbigbass. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

I am a native of Texas, and was relocated to Washington State at the age of 5. I'm a mother of three, with six grandchildren. I love to cook homestyle, family dinners, and love to try new recipes -- especially on my husband who has had almost twenty years of my limited recipe file! I am used to cooking for a small army, and am known to serve my famous "gotta-go" dinners at least once a week, after I take a look at what's still hanging out in the fridge.
