Casserole's Make Life So Much Easier


So I have decided that casseroles are my best friend.  I can get everything ready the night before, I can freeze whatever is left, and my favorite reason casseroles are my best friend, they last for more than ONE meal.  I have been looking all over the web and on Pinterest to find casserole dishes I know my family will eat.  Sometime in March, I posted a Dorito Casserole recipe; well today I am posting something similar to that, but in my opinion (and my husband's) better!  The featured recipe for this week is a taco casserole.  It cost less than $20.00 for all the ingredients (my kind of meal).  

If you have a recipe you want me to try OR you try any of my recipes, leave me a comment!  As usual, my weekly menu plan is listed below.  Have a great week of cooking and/or baking!
