This quick, easy, family pleasing one-dish meal is a sure fire hit. Toppings can be layered on the finished casserole for potluck dinners. It also freezes well (without the toppings).

this was great because it was so easy and tasted so good. i did add a little fresh cilantro to the meat and used rotel instead of chopped tomatoes and it turned out really good. next time i think i might add some refried beans. definitely a keeper. thanks for the recipe!!
I thought this was great!! And so simple to put together…..this might replace regular tacos at my house! I served it with shredded lettuce and taco sauce to put over the top!
This was easy, delicious and filling. My picky 4 y/o ate his entire serving!! I used cheddar and jack cheese and chopped black olives (didn’t have green). Will definitely make this again. Thanks!
MizzNezz This was awesome, I added a few things, a layer of refried beans, a layer of queso,(from a jar) a layer of black beans, I substituted black olives, love those wth anything mexican! I also served this with sour cream, and salsa, sliced green onions, and a little sharp cheddar, My 4 kids LOVED it, not a bit left in the pan, Another winner!!
This was SO good and easy too! I’ve prepared it early in the day while ds is napping and put it in the fridge until dinner time. Dh loved it too. I follow the recipe as written and it turned out great every time. Thanks so much for a keeper!
This was good,more like nachos to me than a supper but still very tasty.I used tortilla chips in mine,I wouldn’t use them as the bottom layer again,they were too soggy.I would start with the meat layer.I used salsa instead of tomato sauce and omitted the olives.
This was really quick and easy to make. I substituted medium salsa instead of tomatoes on top, and it gave it a nice kick. I think next time I will try adding some beans to the recipe as well.
This recipe was great. I used tortilla chips instead of taco shells. I didn’t use the tomato and I used chopped olives in place of green olives. Nevertheless it still turned out great. Thanks for sharing.
This was very good! My whole family enjoyed it. Next time I will have to make more because there wasn’t enough. I used ground turkey and added garlic to it. This is a definate keeper. Nice change of pace from everyday tacos.
This was great! I made for the kids, planning to make something else for DH and myself to eat. Well, I tasted it as it came out of the oven and it was fantastic!! I added some refried beans to the ground beef but other than that followed the recipe to the letter. My picky 2 year old ate the leftovers for lunch the next day–That has never happened before. Thank you for sharing this terrific recipe!
I made this for a pot-luck at my church. It was simple and quick to make. I substituted black olives for the green olives. There was nothing left and I even recieved compliments. The warm and juicy tomatoes baked on top of the casserole was my favorite part. I’m going to serve this to my family with shredded lettuce and salsa to add after baking. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
This was not only a kid pleaser, but also a hubby pleaser. I did use Colby-Jack cheese instead and served it with sour cream. Yum! Will try ripe olives and salsa next time. Thanks for posting!
I used chedder in place of the monterey jack and we all enjoyed this very much! Thanks MizzNezz….
This was a winner with DH and my 2-year-old. I added a can of black beans and a can of corn. I omitted the tomato and olives on the top, since DH doesn’t like tomatoes and I don’t like olives. Also I didn’t have any jack cheese, so I used mozzarella. Very delicious! I think that tortilla chips would have tasted fine, but the actual taco shells gave a better texture and flavor.
This is great! Thank you, my whole family loves this and it has become a regular around here!!
I made this for our monday night “taco night” and at first i had to hear from the kids that they were going to hate it and they were prepared to eat something else. i made them try it and they LOVED it. It really was very good. i added some salsa and green chiles and used turkey meat. but it was good!!!
Child-friendly way to eat tacos with a spoon! I used nacho chips instead of the shells, and 5-6 T of very minced onions to hide them from the kids. Next time I think I will not drain and then just omit re-adding the half cup water. I used cheddar and black olives. I prefered to put the top layer of chips on top of the meat so they would soften better, instead of on the cheese. Also, I felt the need for more of a healthy juicy something, so I think I will add a lot more tomatoes next time. Very easy to make.
Oh, my gosh…this dish was so easy and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of grated cheddar cheese in place of the jack, and sliced black olives in place of the green ones. DH raved and raved and asked me to be sure I made this dish again…and soon! It’s a winner through and through.
I made this last night and it was a huge hit with DH and 3 kids! I used Taco Seasoning instead of the packaged taco seasoning and the flavor was fabulous. I also left off the tomatoes and olives (picky eaters wouldn’t have cared for them). I used 1lb ground beef and one 15 oz can kidney beans. I substituted tortilla chips for the shells, as I was afraid the shells wouldn’t be crisp enough. Thanks for posting!
Not sure why I didn’t think of making something like this before! It was great. I was looking for a recipe to use up some ground turkey and this was a great way. The main changes I made were that I used salsa instead of tomato sauce, I added a chopped onion to the turkey, and I added a layer of brown rice to bulk it up some. Next time I think I’ll add some black beans as well. My picky husband said I could make this one again, so that’s saying something!
This was very good and the kids loved it. I used ground turkey instead of beef and chunky salsa instead of the tomato sauce just to sneak in a few extra veggies. I also substituted sliced black olives for the green, just a personal preference. I personally didn’t care for the taco shells because they were a little on the chewy side but no one else complained. I thought the tomato wedges on top added a nice flavor and they looked pretty with the olives. I served with a little sour cream on top. This will go on the list of easy weeknight meals and will certainly be made again.
I’ve made this three times and can’t believe I forgot to rate it! The kids can’t get enough of this (nor can we adults!!) I did make some changes, I added a can of refried beans to the hamburger, a few handfuls of diced tomatoes with jalapenos with the juice squeezed out, 1 can of black beans- rinsed and drained, 1 tsp of garlic, 1 can of corn- rinsed and drained and cumin to taste. I used 3 green onions chopped, and either a jar of salsa or mild enchilada sauce instead of the tomato sauce. I also used Hot and spicey taco seasoning mix as we like things spicey. As the kids say…this is a BOMB recipe and I recommend it to anyone looking for something filling and different. Thanks for posting this great recipe.
This was wonderful and quick. Thanks Miss Nezz for your submission.
Really good! A good alternative to plain old tacos.
I made this last week and was glad that my husband liked it since I took one bite and didn’t care for it. I used tortilla chips instead of the taco shells, but found it to be very dry and flavorless.
This was just ok for me. The taste was good but I felt like it was missing something. I did add rotel tomatoes & black olives but I think if I made it again I might also add diced peppers or jalepenos and substitute hot sauce for the tomato sauce. Just needed a bit more zip and a bit more substance.
This was a great way to use up broken taco shells. I added leftover white rice and 1/2 jar of salsa to the beef mixture. Served with black olives, sour cream and salsa on the side. It was yummy. Even my picky DD who refuses to eat the meat on nachos and tacos ate a fair helping and didn’t complain!!
