This smells so delicious while it’s cooking and it’s great for those cold winter days. All the goodness of a freshly-prepared taco, but in a casserole!

How to make Crockpot Taco Casserole
Brown ground meat; drain well. Add onion, garlic, and pepper and cook until transparent.
Add remaining hot sauce, tomato sauce, and chili powder.
Grease crock pot and layer in 5 layers, beginning with meat mixture and nacho cheese tortilla chips, then the corn, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili, and grated cheese.
Cover and cook 6 to 8 hours on low.
Serve this easy-to-make casserole with a tossed salad for a wonderful everyday family dinner. Feel free to try it with lean ground turkey instead of beef as well.
Don’t forget to add in your favorite toppings to really take it over the top. There is always room for more shredded cheese and even some diced jalapenos for an extra kick.
