It’s easy to fall into a rut making the same meals week after week. While it may be easier to stick with the tried-and-true recipes…it gets boring really fast!
Why not shake up your regular menu and try something new? You might find that the new recipe is just as easy (or even easier) than the ones that you usually make.
In place of the standard taco meal, how about serving up a taco casserole instead. It’s really easy and you get all your favorite flavors in one tasty dish.

To get started you want to brown your ground beef with the chopped onion. As that starts to cook, go ahead and cook the Knorr Rice according to package directions. While the rice mix is a great side to go with regular tacos, I love it in this casserole. You get great flavor and great texture in every bite!
Once your ground beef is done, drain any fat and then add the condensed soups, enchilada sauce and the tomato sauce. Now, this is not the prettiest dish ever. In fact, you end up with an odd colored mixture. Don’t be put off by the color! I promise…it tastes better than it looks!
Now it’s time to assemble the casserole.
Start by placing half of the corn chips (or tortilla chips) in the bottom of your casserole dish. Then, spoon half of the beef mixture over top of the chips.
The prepared Knorr Taco Rice is next. Just spoon half of the rice on top of the beef mixture as evenly as possible.
Repeat the layers once more and then sprinkle shredded cheese over top. The casserole goes into the oven for 12 – 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese gets bubbly.
Pull it out of the oven and top with all your favorite taco ingredients. You can add lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños or whatever you love.
Grab a spoon and dish it out for a nice change of pace from your typical Taco Tuesday meal!
