Blue Ribbon Recipe

This quick and easy taco casserole is a great weeknight meal. If you love Rotel dip, you'll love this cheesy casserole. It's similar to the Velveeta and Rotel dip, except it is kicked up a few levels. Sour cream makes this super creamy. Rotel and jalapenos add a little kick. Browned ground beef is seasoned with taco seasonings that punch the flavor and adds heartiness to the meal. Adding crushed tortilla chips, though, is what makes this casserole.
