    Why You Will Love this Taco Casserole

    My family loved this taco casserole recipe that my Aunt Carol had made for lunch on Saturday. Everyone was raving about it and how good it was. I asked her where she found the recipe and she said "Pinterest." LOL, go figure right? Everyone uses Pinterest to find recipes online these days, and why not? It's a great search engine.

    I did a quick search on Pinterest and found this recipe for Taco Casserole  from Lil Luna. It was the closest one I could find to her recipe (which used biscuit baking mix). Below, there's several different options on how you can prepare this Taco casserole using ground beef, turkey, or chicken. A lot of people like lower point options for their recipes when following Weight Watchers. I just prefer the taste of ground beef better, compared to ground chicken or turkey. If I had to choose between chicken or turkey I would choose ground turkey.

    Ingredients Needed

    • Ground beef - Is considered better than higher fat options for several reasons. First, it has less saturated fat, which can contribute to heart disease and other health issues. Additionally, it tends to have fewer calories per serving, making it a good option for those watching their weight. The 96% lean ground beef from Aldi is my favorite.
    • Low sodium taco seasoning such as Mrs. Dash
    • Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
    • ¼ cups 1% milk
    • Baking mix (such as Bisquick)
    • dash pepper
    • Greek yogurt - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
    • Chopped lettuce
    • Chopped tomato
    • Fat free  cheddar cheese or Monterey jack cheese (points figured using FF cheddar)

    How to Make Taco Casserole

    Step 1 Preheat oven to 400.

    Step 2 Cook ground beef over medium heat in a large skillet until no longer pink. Drain any fat and add taco seasoning. Whatever package says to use. 🙂
