We top our taco casserole recipe off with green onions, but there is so much more you can add. All of your favorite Mexican flavors are delicious on top of this dish! I like to add sour cream and jalapenos to mine.

Ground Beef Casserole Recipes FAQs

What salsa should I use for this Mexican Casserole?

Use your favorite brand of salsa - any kind will work in this Mexican tortilla casserole! I like to use mild enchilada sauce and medium heat salsa, but if your family likes Mexican meals with a little less heat, use mild instead. I've only tried this casserole dish with red salsa, but green salsa would also be delicious!

Can I use flour tortillas?

Yes, you can use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas if you prefer. The instructions remain the same!

Can Mexican Casseroles be frozen?

Yes, easily! Mexican ground beef casserole is perfect for freezing.
1. Assemble the casserole as instructed, then freeze it unbaked.
2. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil and label with the freezing date. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
