How to Make Kitchen Sink Taco Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This simple Kitchen Sink Crock Pot Taco Casserole came about because one of our readers, Tammy, mentioned the idea of adding refried beans to the original recipe. I love refried beans and thought it was a wonderful suggestion. The results were a flavorful and hearty dish that my whole family enjoyed.

It can be thrown together in 15 minutes or less and cooks up so quickly. Plus, Each person can add whatever favorite taco toppings they want to their serving making everyone happy.
