#1,201: Lawnmower Taco

I have no idea how or why this recipe is called Lawnmower Tacos.  I think Taco Casserole would be more appropriate, but I will admit, I did look at the recipe solely based on the name.  :)  I was looking for an easy, ground beef recipe that my kids might enjoy when I stumbled upon this recipe.  It was definitely easy to make. Easy and delicious.  This got big thumbs up from everyone in my crew.  Nothing super special, but still quite yummy!!  Tomorrow is leftover night for dinner....I think we will all be fighting for this one!  (Except for me who will be eating corn beef and cabbage!)

1 pound ground beef or turkey
1-2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning Mix
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken or beef broth
9 ounces tortilla chips, crushed
2 cup grated cheese
For day of serving: shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream, black olives

In large skillet, brown ground beef. Stir in taco seasoning. Sprinkle flour over top. Stir to combine. Stir in broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens. Grease 9×13 inch baking pan. Place 1/2 of crushed chips across bottom of dish. Layer with half the meat sauce and then half the cheese. Repeat layers: chips, meat, cheese. If cooking right away, place in 325° oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until bubbly.

If making as a freezer meal, do not bake. Instead, cover with foil, label, cool, and freeze. On serving day, thaw casserole and follow baking directions, adding up to 10 to 15 minutes baking time, depending on how cold or frozen the casserole is at the start.

Serve with desired toppings.
