Easy Weeknight Mexican Casserole

Mexican casseroles are one of our favorite weeknight meals. This recipe uses crescent rolls and Velveeta cheese – YUM! It was super easy to make and tasted fantastic. I especially loved all the ooey-gooey cheese. We topped our taco bake with some sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños for a little extra kick. The only change I might make next time is to mix the Velveeta into the meat mixture and add some black beans.

How to Make Taco Crescent Bake

As I said, this is super easy to make. In a large skillet, brown some ground beef and drain the fat. Return meat to skillet, add taco seasoning and Rotel tomatoes. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes. Lightly spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Press one can of crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan. Top with ground beef. Slice Velveeta and lay on top of the meat. Top with remaining can of crescent rolls and bake.

Feel free to substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
If you are worried about the heat, make sure to use MILD Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles.
Don't like Velveeta? You can use any cheese that you prefer.
This is a great base recipe to add your favorite veggies to. Onions, peppers, and black beans are good.
