Expert Tips

If you're really a planner, consider cooking up several pounds of beef ahead of time and freezing it in resealable plastic bags in 1/2-pound (1-cup) batches. Then you’ll have it on hand for yummy dishes like this!

If your family loves salsa, serve it with this Mexican-style casserole.

Replace taco-seasoned cheese with pizza-seasoned cheese and use crushed crisp breadsticks instead of the tortilla chips. Sprinkle hot casserole with sliced ripe olives, and you have Pizza Potatoes Casserole!

I found this recipe years ago in a magazine and lost it recently, so I looked it up. Here are my variations: I also add a packet of mild taco seasoning (instead of taco-flavored cheese), a small can of mexicorn, and a small can of sliced olives. I serve the tortilla chips on the side along with fat free sour cream. My family eats this up every time! A quick, easy favorite.

I found this recipe while trying to figure out what to make with the same stuff I use constantly. My family really liked it. I only made 1 box of potatoes and I also used the salsa cheese. That was the best suggestion from someone else on here. It added to much flavor to it. The next time I make this I will probably triple the recipe so that there is alot more to eat.
