Taco Casserole

Taco Casserole

Thank you: two maids a milkin'!

Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger
1 pkg. taco seasoning
8 oz. sour cream (I would suggest using 1/2 of this. the sour cream sort of overwhelmed the rest of the flavors for me)
1 pkg. crescent rolls (8)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (I used rotel, I like things a little spicy)
1 c. shredded cheese
Dorito chips

Directions

1. Brown hamburger and drain.

2. Add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, tiny bit of water, and diced tomatoes. Simmer...

3. In 9x13 dish, press out crescent rolls and roll them to form crust.

4. Here comes the Dairy!!! Layer hamburger mixture, sour cream and then cheese.

5. Crush about 3/4 of a bag of Doritos and put them on top. Bake at 350 for 30 min.

Enjoy!!!

The only thing i would change is cutting the sour cream wayyyyyyyyy down, or cutting it out completely and adding it on each dish individually.

The sour cream flavor over whelmed most of the dish. which i'm normally okay with, but this time it was a tad much for even me. and my love for sour cream normally knows no bounds. 








Blogger is being silly and won't let me upload pics, I'll try again later.
