Today I’m teaming up with our partner, Borden® Cheese, to share our Taco Casserole Cup Recipe as part of this sponsored post. Some days are so busy that making dinner can feel like a chore, but having some easy go-to recipes, like these taco cups, makes those days a whole lot easier!
Yesterday, we had two lacrosse games, a baseball game, a birthday party, and I had errands to run. Dinner ended up being my Taco Casserole Cups because they are simple, nutritious, and the kids love them. Borden® Cheese believes in weeknight dinners to bring the family together around the table to talk, laugh, and enjoy a wholesome, convenient, and I do, too!
Our family could eat tacos every single night, so this is an easy, go-to meal for us, made with only five ingredients!
For me, the hardest part about dinner is planning it, but with a few staples that we keep in our fridge like Borden® Cheese, dinner is quick and easy to make on those busy weeknights! We always keep their shredded cheese and slices in the fridge because I know they are nutritious; each serving provides an excellent source of calcium and protein. As my son always reminds me, “Cheese makes everything taste better.” haha!
MEAL PLANNING TIP: My best tip for planning your meals is to make a list of 30 recipes that your family likes. Write them down, from #1 to #30. Every month, use that list, swapping in new favorites when you find them.
It makes mealtime much easier!
I try to keep foods at home that come from companies that I trust. Borden® Cheese works with more than 8,000 family-owned dairy farms across the United States, so for my family, that makes a difference.
This recipe is quick, easy, and it uses only a few ingredients from foods that you have at home or can get at your local grocery store. Plus, this is a great recipe that even the kids will love.
