Recipe Description

As the name suggests, this Potluck Taco Casserole is the perfect dish to bring to your next potluck dinner. Everyone will adore this delicious Mexican-inspired casserole. It’s so simple to make, too, as the recipe uses a pre-made biscuit mix.

Transfer the meat mixture to a prepared baking dish. Prepare biscuit mix and pour over the meat mixture. Bake in the oven until golden brown. Cool slightly before spreading sour cream over the top and sprinkling with lettuce, tomato, green pepper, onions, and cheese.

I made the Potluck Taco Casserole for a family gathering last weekend. It was so simple and everyone loved it. I used some spicy salsa as a topping, and it added a nice kick. The kids devoured it, and my wife said it's a keeper. Will definitely make it again.
