If you love tacos, and who doesn’t, right, then you are going to LOVE this casserole. I’ve combined spaghetti with some of my favorite taco flavors and turned into a casserole that’s so stinking good.

This is a no-frills kind of dish that’s ideal for a weeknight meal and perfect for pot lucks and covered dish suppers. It’s made with simple ingredients and is ready to serve in 45 minutes. It’s also freezer-friendly so you can have a great dish to serve when you’re tight on time.

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 growth 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!
