Taco Casserole

This taco casserole is based on my Grandma Bray’s taco pie recipe and it is LEGIT. Grandma’s taco pie is baked in a pie shell. I was not feeling that, so I just omitted the shell and voila – the best taco casserole ever!!! David liked to add to the fun by scooping it up with Tostitos and eating it like a dip.
