Taco Casserole

In the early years of our marriage, I found a recipe for Beef Nacho Casserole, which Joe and I both loved. Years went by, and I forgot about the casserole. In 2016, I remembered how much we had enjoyed it and wondered if our kids would too. Rachel and I found a similar recipe, modified it to our taste, and made it. It was a hit! No matter how often we eat it, Joe always comments about how long it's been since he last had it.
