Taco Casserole Recipe
Description
Ground beef is browned and mixed with prepared taco seasoning, then spread evenly into a greased baking dish. A batter made from beating eggs, milk, biscuit baking mix, and black pepper is poured over the meat layer. The casserole bakes at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until the biscuit layer turns golden brown and cooked through. After a brief cooling period, sour cream is spread over the top, followed by chopped lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced olives to create a layered texture experience.
Serving warm allows the cheese to melt slightly while maintaining fresh vegetable crunch. The casserole can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking for convenience. It also freezes well once fully baked and cooled, retaining flavors and texture after reheating. Leftovers store for a few days refrigerated and reheat effectively in microwaves or ovens.
This recipe provides a comforting and convenient combination of ground beef taco flavors with a biscuit topping, suitable for casual family dinners or meal prep. The layered fresh toppings contribute to a more balanced dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 (1-ounce) packets taco seasoning
- 4 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 1¼ cups biscuit baking mix
- dash black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups lettuce chopped
- ¾-1 cup tomato chopped
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- olive
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cook beef over medium heat in a large skillet until no longer pink. Drain meat, add taco seasoning, and prepare according to package directions.
- Add meat to a greased 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
- Beat eggs and milk in a large bowl. Stir in one and a quarter cup biscuit mix and pepper, and mix until combined well. Pour over meat and bake until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
- Let cool for a few minutes and then spread on sour cream.

Notes
- Prepare the casserole ahead by assembling and refrigerating overnight; bake directly from the refrigerator after resting at room temperature while oven preheats.
- Freeze fully baked and cooled casserole wrapped tightly; thaw in refrigerator and reheat uncovered at 350°F until warmed through.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
- Reheat leftovers using a microwave or oven for best results.
