My brother was coming to town for a visit recently, and I knew exactly what he was going to do. He was going to show up to my house, starving, and start rifling through the cupboards. It’s just like when we were kids growing up at Mom and Dad’s. He would constantly be on the hunt for something to eat. Even after all these years, he still does the same thing. It used to annoy me, but now that I hardly ever seen him, I don’t mind it so much. I actually look forward to it.
This time though, I thought it would be nice to have something prepared that he could munch on without having to do the regular search and rescue mission of the food that I have in my kitchen. I found this layered casserole on Recipe Lion and knew he would love it.
He loves anything that comes out of a casserole dish covered in cheese first off, and that was what this was. I think he likes it so much because he knows there’s a huge pan and he can eat until he is really full. That’s what he did when I set this on the table. There was barely any left for anyone else!

Even my kids like this which is shocking, because they are the opposite of their Uncle and usually pass on casseroles. They like it even more when I serve it as a dip with tortilla chips I think. My husband can eat about half a pan of this all on his own. When I make it for company, I almost always double up on the recipe or make two pans. I think it’s the layer of ooey gooey cheese on the top that really draws in the attention. I know it gets me every time! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
“Another one we loved! I have used as a dip without the Jiffy mix and it was very good with chips and extra salsa.”
Serve as a yummy casserole or omit the Bisquick and use it as a dip… either way it’s going to be a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef, cooked and drained
- 1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning
