I don’t know about you guys and gals but I’m a mega fan od Mexican-inspired foods. This El Dorado beef casserole is just that! It combines ground beef, tomato sauce, and lots of yummy cheese in a perfectly layered bake. I think I could make this for supper once a week and my family wouldn’t complain. My neighbor told me that she had found the recipe on Facebook. This doesn’t surprise me because Facebook is known for sharing amazing recipes.
I know that my children certainly enjoyed this casserole! It wasn’t too spicy for them.
