Taco Casserole Egg Bake

Don’t you love Mexican food? This recipe blends two great things: Mexican food, and egg bakes! And this is absolutely my favorite egg bake!  This dish has a lot of protein, which is awesome, but the best part is that it adds in a great Mexican flavor which makes it a really popular dish in our family.   This delicious taco casserole recipe is so tasty and it’s just as easy as our mini taco pizza recipe! 

Taco Casserole

Eggs, cheese, turkey ground meat, and taco seasoning makes a classic Mexican inspired flavor combination!  The best part of this recipe is that it only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish and you’re enjoying a great dish that is filled with flavor!

• 1 pound ground turkey, ground meat, or you can even use a plant-based meat.

Helpful Tips

• I like to add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of salsa to give it a little extra flavor.
