I am going to make a confession here…I am in a slump! I had so much fun doing all my Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts and preparing for the holidays. My daughter and her fiance came up from Atlanta and it was the first time we were together on Christmas morning in 15 years! It was such a wonderful visit, but it was way too short! Now I need to get back on track with the blog and start creating new posts for you!
One of my favorite things to do is cook for my family and share the recipes with you. I don’t always have a lot of time to cook, but I don’t want to cheat my family on flavor. So finding great recipes that are easy to make, taste great and use quality ingredients is a priority for me. Take a new family favorite dish, The Single-Best Cheeseburger Taco Bake! Boy is this dish a winner!
This The Single-Best Cheeseburger Taco Bake is super easy to make! I mean, this is one of those recipes you can make in just about 30 minutes. What mom doesn’t love that, right?! My husband’s favorite cuisine is Mexican, so anytime I want to try out a new dish with a little bit of tang, he is super excited. When I texted him what I was making for dinner, he called to respond with a big “I love you!!” Yep, this recipe is that good! If you want a quick dish that is packed full of flavor, the title of this recipe says it all!

December 31, 2015 at 11:37 pmThis looks and sounds wonderful! I love that the kids can have their favorite mac & cheese, but with a twist. My kids are also crazy about tacos. It’s literally the best of both for dinner! Easy to make and simple ingredients. I will definitely give this recipe a try! It has my name all over it, and I’m sure the kids will love it too!

January 2, 2016 at 11:29 amWe’ve been bored with eating the same meals over and over. This looks like a combination of two things we regularly make. It would make a great alternative. Plus, I’m curious to find out if it tastes as great as it looks.

April 22, 2016 at 1:08 pmMy kids would love cheesebuger tacos! This is also a great idea for family fun night. I am sure there would be lots of leftovers. I love anything I can make with hamburger too because when you have a big family, hamburger goes around.

February 19, 2017 at 12:16 amThis recipe really does look scrumptious. My whole family loves hamburgers so this is sure to be a winner. I can’t wait to drizzle mine with ketchup and mustard. I also want to arrange hamburger pickle chips as a garnish on top!
