This yummy Taco Casserole Recipe is a great family dinner meal! I prepared this meal in an afternoon when doing 10 Oven Ready freezer meals for my family's dinners. With the school year activities in full swing and a season full of football, I wanted to make a bunch of prep ahead meals that I could make for my family.
So I got busy finding and creating recipes so I could take an afternoon and have meals ready to go for my family. This tasty recipe has been a family favorite dinner so far out of all the freezer meals. I served the delicious Taco Casserole as a complete dinner meal and for dessert we had Mexican Fried Ice Cream.
Taco Casserole Recipe is so good and it's an easy freeze oven ready supper that everyone will love. My whole family loved this complete dinner meal and they want me to make it again soon! Be sure to make this freezer meal and give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

How would you need to adjust this recipe if I wanted to do it in 2 8 x 8 pans instead of one 9 x 13
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I would do it one and a half times the recipe.
