Taco Tuesday Hashbrown Casserole
This casserole is kind of like cheesy funeral potatoes meets tacos. Greg was so happy when I took this out of the oven and immediately got a big plateful. If you love meat you can 1.5 times the meat portion of this recipe. If you’re a cheese lover you can add a big handful of cheese on top of the casserole when there’s 10 minutes left on the cooking time so it gets all cheesy and melty on top. Enjoy!
