Potluck Taco Casserole

When I read this recipe in Taste of Home magazine – 13 x 9, winter 2016- I was so suspicious about mixing ground beef, egg and biscuit mix. So I made half of the recipe.

But when my son and my daughter tasted it, they said “Can I have more? It’s so delicious.”  I was so surprised how good it was. The taco seasoning in the ground beef and the crème fraîche (*) on the top give a great flavor to this casserole. . This Potluck Taco Casserole is an easy and fantastic recipe. It was a huge hit. Next time I will make the whole recipe!

* : I ‘ve used crème fraîche as a substitute for sour cream.

Makes : 8 serving  Preparation time : 25 min.  Total time : 45 min.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. (205 degree C.). In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Add the taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Spoon meat into a greased 13×9-in. (33×23 cm) baking dish.
