Breakfast Taco Casserole Recipes

TACO BAKE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Cook ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat until beef is browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain grease. Stir in water and taco seasoning; cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add refried beans, salsa, olives, and green chiles. Cook and stir over low heat until ingredients are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place half of the taco shells in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour in half of the ground beef mixture; sprinkle with half of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining taco shells, ground beef mixture, and Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

BREAKFAST TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the breakfast sausage until it is done and crumbly.
• Drain off the excess fat (If you used chorizo, drain off LOTS of excess fat).
• In a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan, start by layering the tater tots on the bottom.
• Then sprinkle the cooked sausage crumbles.
• Then place dollops of the chilies and tomatoes evenly around the pan (I don't drain them, but you can if you want a milder flavor).
• Evenly distribute the cubes of Velveeta.
• Place your 9x13-inch pan into a slightly larger jelly roll pan (has sides) to catch any spills or overflow.
• Now beat the eggs, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the eggs over the tater tots, sausage, and cheese.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F
• The eggs should be soft-set in the middle.
• At this point you can refrigerate the dish.
• Finish by baking uncovered for 15-20 minutes at 350°F.
• Serve with warm corn tortillas, salsa, and sour cream.
• Allow everyone to make their own breakfast tacos, or simply dish and eat.

EASY TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir salsa, onion, mayonnaise, chili powder, and cumin into the beef. Remove from heat.
• Spread about half the ground beef mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Spread about half the tortilla chips in a layer atop the beef mixture. Layer about half of each of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the tortilla chip layer. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with Monterey Jack cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted in the middle, about 30 minutes.
