Dinner: Taco Casserole Recipe

Now that the power has returned, we're back to baking.  
Cooking. 
LURRRRVE.
Tonight I did our neighbor's shopping and needed something quick.  Cue this SIMPLE recipe that I put in the oven while I emptied the neighbor's groceries.
From HERE: FANTASTIC Taco Casserole
Tweaked here:  I don't like black olives so I didn't put those in, and instead put chopped red onion on top with the tomato and green onion.  We enjoyed the crunch.  As well, we served with corn that we eventually mixed in.  I wouldn't mix it into the layers as I think that would make it soggy - but, corn is as GREAT side dish with this meal.

Yum YUM!
