My kids love tacos, but they get so frustrated when they are trying to eat a crunchy tortilla taco and it breaks into pieces after one bite. This casserole is basically a crunchy beef and bean taco all spread out in a casserole dish . . . and my kids INHALE it. It's such a quick and easy meal that you will have to add to your meal rotation!
