Get ready to shake up your taco night party with a little help from the queen of entertaining herself, Martha Stewart. Inspired by Martha Stewart’s recipe, this Taco Casserole is a fun, fiesta-in-a-pan that takes all the bold, zesty flavors you love and bakes them into one easy meal. Layers of savory ground beef, salsa, and cheese, meet a golden, crunchy corn chip crust on top. Say goodbye to all the time and mess it takes to prep your taco and spend your time eating this meal instead.
Why Do I Need a Cast Iron Skillet for This Taco Casserole?
A cast iron skillet is the perfect way to cook this Taco Casserole since this versatile cookware houses every step of the recipe. Its heat retention and heat distribution ensure that the casserole bakes evenly. Plus it also gifts you that bubbly, browned crust on top. You can sear the ground beef directly in the skillet on the stovetop then just add in the rest of your ingredients. And because of its durability, the cast iron skillet can go straight from the oven to the table, keeping the casserole warm the whole way.
