A delightful twist on a classic casserole, combining hearty potatoes with zesty taco flavors.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your dish.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a greased casserole dish.
Uniformly sized pieces cook more evenly, ensuring a consistent texture.
Melt the butter and mix it with the taco seasoning in a small bowl.
Mixing the seasoning with melted butter helps distribute the flavors evenly.
Pour the seasoned butter over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all potato pieces are well-coated for maximum flavor.
Bake the potatoes uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring halfway prevents sticking and promotes even cooking.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Drain any excess fat.
Cooking the onion with the beef enhances the flavor profile of the dish.
Mix the cooked beef and onion with the salsa.
Using a flavorful salsa can elevate the overall taste of the dish.
Spread the beef mixture over the baked potatoes in the casserole dish.
Evenly spreading the mixture ensures every bite has a balanced flavor.
Top the casserole with shredded cheese and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Baking until the cheese melts creates a deliciously gooey topping.
Serve the casserole warm, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream.
Adding fresh garnishes enhances the presentation and flavor of the dish.
