I’ve been on a bit of a biscuit bake train lately, so it seemed like a good time to share this Cheesy Taco Casserole with you. Flavorfully seasoned with a balanced blend of spices, the taco meat nestles in a bed of biscuit and cheese to make a filling dish perfect for a party, dinner, or brunch. While perfect as a make-ahead entrée, this recipe also comes together quickly enough to be prepared day-of.
While this Cheesy Taco Casserole is based on taco flavors, feel free to swap out your protein, cheese type (just keep it melty), and spice blend.
