Low-Carb taco casserole

Yesterday was national Taco day and I wanted a taco. Well, let’s be honest, I just wanted a taco and it happened to be National Taco day which was a great excuse!

I’ve been wanting to try this very simple casserole that would be family-friendly. Unlike many of my recipes, this does rely on ready-made seasonings and a can (gasp!) but what the heck. It still tasted great! I made this with no chips or taco shells.

Low Carb Taco Casserole
Calories: 268 kcal
Author: Urvashi
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • 4 campari tomatoes chopped
Garnish
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa
  • Chopped Onions
  • Chopped lettuce
Instructions
  1. Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning. Mix well.
  2. Heat oven to 400 degrees
  3. Layer taco meat in a pan. I used a glass one because I thought it would be pretty to see the layers. The boys came into the kitchen attracted by the smell and dug into it before I could take a picture so...maybe use whatever you want.
  4. Empty half a can of the refried beans. Add enough water to liquefy slightly. You want this to be like a thick pancake batter so you can spread it around properly. Once this is done, spread on top of the taco meat.
  5. Cover mixture with cheese, and chopped tomatoes. My dog loves raw tomatoes so I had to chop an extra one. YMMV.
  6. Bake in oven for 20 mins or until cheese is melted. If you want the top browned, turn your oven to broil and have at it. My kids were too hungry to wait.
  7. Serve with garnishes on the side and let each diner pick their toppings.

    Great idea!! I’ll have to try it. Btw, check out 100 Days of Real Food blog and search for her crock pot refried bean recipe. Fat free, delicious, and crazy easy to make. I make a pot every week and we use the beans for tortilla rolls ups, soft tacos, etc.

      I need to try that. I HATE getting a “cube” of beans out of a can!

      Elana, thanks to you, there are beans bubbling in my crockpot right now. I cut the quantities in half and added ancho chile powder, so curious to see how it turns out.

      I wante dot email you on VST but realized I now know you as Elana, not whatever your username was and I can’t remember it! Hope you see this because when I post the modified recipe, I’m naming it after you!
