The casserole includes lettuces, tomatoes and corn on top and is made with Instant rice making it super quick! There’s also a layer of cheese to make it all stick together. Plus cheese is just delicious! 🙂
The first time I made this for dinner it was a hit. So much that I made it 2 time that week. And don’t get me started on the leftovers… they are equally delicious!

My kind of meal! It looks terrific.
This is gorgeous! I love that this is a one pan meal so clean up must be easy. Gotta love the flavor you add in here.
Pamela, I’ve never heard of a taco casserole before, but it certainly seems like a good idea to me! This is great as it is, but I MAY be tempted to add a little guacamole and sour cream on the top as well … yum!
I totally love adding some creamy to this… I’d be in love with that guacamole!
…probably couldn’t stop eating this one 🙂
