Taco Casserole

This taco casserole was from an old worn out and stained recipe card that was Grandma Cottages. She loved this dish and made it often in my childhood. She had six children and many grandchildren and made meals that went a long way for this large family. This recipe fits the bill. Our family loved Mexican food being raised in Southern California so this one was, needless to say was a huge hit with our clan. It is full of flavor and texture and can be made to your family tastes by changing up the amount of chili powder and what kind of salsa you use. This way if you have people with sensitive stomachs or small children you can make it not spicy. Give it a try for your own crew and let us know what you think!
