I love having everything planned and in the house for suppers! And Lois D’s Taco Casserole is one that is perfect for having in the freezer or to make it quick after work.
The Recipe
This taco casserole recipe comes from my 4th grade teacher, Lois D. When I was in 8th grade my mom had some major surgeries and our friends from church arranged lots of meals to be delivered! Lois D went to our church and brought this casserole over along with the most amazing ice cream dessert! It’s been a favorite of mine ever since and I think your family will like it too!
Meal Planning
It’s also one of those that makes meal planning so easy! My version of meal planning is slightly different than others. Over the weekend, I make a list of 5-7 meals I could make the next week. It is typically based on what can be made with what we have in the house, but I do gather additional items if necessary! Then, the night before I ask T which one of those meals he’s hungry for and that’s what we go with!
The Recipe
Brown the ground beef with onions and drain. Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Layer one package of crescent rolls, then the beef & cheese, and another package of crescent rolls. Bank 25-30 minutes at 350. Serve with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream! We also like to add a side of rice or tostitos and queso.

Instructions

Cooks Notes
- You can use traditional taco seasoning in your ground beef, we prefer ChiChi’s Restaurante seasoning which isn’t a red seasoning…more of garlic, chilis, etc.
- If crescent rolls aren’t your thing, use layered flour tortillas instead. That’s T’s preference.
- Mix up your cheeses and use taco blend or half mozzarella and half shredded cheddar.
