That’s why some of my favorite weeknight recipes are one pan meals like this Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Kale and of course this tasty Nacho Casserole recipe!

If you love nachos, then this easy nacho bake will be sure to please!

HOW DO YOU MAKE NACHO CHEESE CASSEROLE?

To make this recipe, you will need ground beef, garlic, onion, and taco seasoning.

TOPPINGS FOR THIS CHEESY NACHO BAKE

You can top this recipe with shredded lettuce, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, and green onions.

CAN YOU PREPARE THIS NACHO CASSEROLE RECIPE IN ADVANCE?

Yes, you can! This tortilla chip casserole can be prepped in the morning and kept in the fridge for about 8 hours. The only suggestion I would have would be to place it in a casserole dish instead of a cast iron skillet.

COULD YOU SUBSITUTE CHICKEN INSTEAD OF THE GROUND BEEF?

Yes, you can definitely do that. It would make a fun variation to this Mexican casserole.

IS THERE A KETO MEXICAN CASSEROLE?

There are several out there, like this Low Carb Mexican Taco Casserole by Simply So Healthy.

COULD YOU USE BLACK BEANS INSTEAD OF KIDNEY BEANS?

Absolutely!

Ground Beef recipes, like this Mexican casserole recipe, are full of flavor and are very versatile. They also work great any time of the year!
