Taco Bake


I'm sure everyone has their own way of doing a taco bake. Prior to doing this tonight, I've always used the Old El Paso taco bake kit. But I prefer to do things myself and not use a kit, so tonight I made my own. It turned out AMAZING.

1 lb ground beef
1 package of PC taco seasoning
1 small jar of medium salsa
2 cups shredded cheese
1 container of sour cream
3 soft tortillas (large)
4-5 hard taco shells, broken in half

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large skillet, prepare ground beef with taco seasoning according to the directions on the package of seasoning. Once cooked, add the jar of salsa and about 1/2-3/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and some of the liquid has been cooked off.

In a 9" round cake pan, place one soft tortilla, followed by 1.5 hard shells. Spoon about 1/3 of the hamburger mixture on it and spread it out. Spoon and spread about 1/3 of the sour cream on top of that. Repeat two times, so that all your mixture and sour cream is gone. On top of the last bit of sour cream, put the rest of the shredded cheese.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted to your liking. Cool a few minutes before cutting.
