How to Make a Taco Bake in an Oven

Aunt Lou here.

Folks, you are going to love this Taco Bake oven recipe for multiple reasons! It is super delicious and is a super fast recipe to make. This recipe from start to finish is only a half hour long. That makes it absolutely perfect for a night when you are short on time, but everyone is still hungry. Can you believe my family wants a good dinner every single night? So demanding! 😉

If you want to make this recipe (and many others) easier, you can always use our Crock Pot Make Ahead Ground Beef. I love that you can have ground beef already cooked and ready to go on a moments notice. It just likes life easier!

This recipe is super simple to double up if you need to feed a larger group of people. Make sure you use a larger baking dish and watch it closely the first time you make it to adjust the cooking time as needed. Whether you are making the original recipe or doubling it, either way, you will absolutely love it!

(Psst…if you want to make this in your crock pot, you can find the recipe here.)
