1-Dish Taco Bake

This recipe has quickly become one of my go to dinners. I do need to emphasize that you do not pre-heat your oven for this one. It needs to start out in a cold oven.

Taco Meat Filling

1 lb. ground beef

1.25 package taco seasoning

Batter

cooking spray

3/4 c. flour

1/2 c. corn meal

2 envelopes yeast

1 T. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 c. very warm milk

3 T. oil

1 egg

Topping

1 c. Chunky salsa

1 c. shredded cheddar

1 c. corn tortilla chips, partially crushed

Brown and drain beef. Add taco seasoning and mix well.

Mix batter ingredients together and pour into a pre-sprayed 9.5 inch deep dish pie plate. If you don't have a deep pie plate, a small casserole dish works great too.

Top batter with taco meat. Pour salsa evenly over meat, sprinkle with shredded cheese and corn chips.

Bake by placing in a COLD OVEN; set temp to 350. Bake for 45 min or until batter is cooked through.
