This recipe has quickly become a favorite of my youngest son. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on with here but over the past 24 hours, half of the casserole has disappeared and I’ve not had a single bite. Maybe he’s going through a growing spurt or maybe he just loves my cooking. I think I’ll claim the latter as the real reason that he loves this Taco Spaghetti Bake so much!
