How to Make Fiesta Beef Casserole in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
It has been a while since I have made the crock pot version of this Fiesta Beef Casserole oven recipe. I had forgotten how much my family and I love this recipe! It is sometimes hard to get one of my kiddos to eat a full serving at meal time. I gave said kiddo a small portion just in case. That portion was finished and a request for more was made. In fact, everyone in my house went back for seconds. This casserole is that good!
This is a pretty quick recipe to make as it is now, but if you want to make the prep for this recipe even faster, you can make up a batch of our Crock Pot Make Ahead Ground Beef and use one pound of it. It would take the place of the ground beef and the diced onion in the recipe ingredients since it already has onions in it.
