Southwestern Taco Casserole

This is one of my favorite casseroles and it freezes well…One you can make ahead..Has all the flavors of tacos, but in a casserole..I started making this one when my children were growing up.  They always loved it.  I always made it with the Lacey corn bread.  We couldn’t afford the corn tortillas, so I had to improvise..That’s how I came up with a lot of my recipes…Please Share, Subscribe, and leave me a comment…and give me a 👍👍👍..It really helps my channel..especially the comments and sharing..
