I recently bought the new crock pot casserole dish, and I am absolutely in love with it. This thing will come in so much handiness for the holidays, but I’ll be using it during the whole year.

Of course, you don’t need the casserole dish for my easy Slow Cooker Taco Casserole recipe. You can use a regular crock pot too. You’ll notice my recipe calls for my homemade taco seasoning, but you can always use the regular spice packets you get at the store for thirty cents.

That will definitely save you additional time in the kitchen too. I can’t get enough of this casserole recipe – yum!

 

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground turkey (or ground beef)

1/2 onion chopped – optional

1 cup of corn

1 can of black beans (drained)

1 cans of diced tomatoes with green chilis (aka rotel)

1/2 package of Taco seasoning (or 4 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning)

garlic salt to taste

2 cups of cooked rice (I used brown rice that I cooked but you can use any)

8 oz of shredded cheese (we used cheddar)

crock pot casserole dish – this is awesome!

 

Instructions:

First brown your ground turkey or ground beef.

Add in chopped onions, taco seasoning, tomatoes, beans and corn.

Stir to combine and set aside

Spray the inside of your crock pot casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Spread the cooked rice in the bottom of the crock pot.

Sprinkle with garlic salt.

Spoon the meat mixture over the rice.

Top with cheddar cheese

Place the lid on top and cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Quick Tip: Pack the rice in the slow cooker just a little bit to make a firm base for the casserole.
