Taco Casserole

The colder weather is approaching and that means its time for some casserole dishes. This particular dish, taco casserole is one of my all time favorites. Some of the ingredients in this dish include ground beef, onions, diced tomatoes, tomato soup and taco seasoning mix. Some toppings include black olives, cheese, and green onions. You could also add diced tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream if you choose.This dish is best served immediately so the tortilla chips will still be crunchy. Enjoy.
