This recipe is a family favorite that I have been making for many years. Each time I make it, I try a different ingredient variation. The version posted here is one I made recently for dinner that included teenagers - frequently, a hard group to please. This recipe is "Friend and Family ...& Teenager" approved. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This taco pie casserole is a meal your entire family will enjoy. It's a blend of savory, creamy, and cheesy elements with a slight spice. Ground turkey and pieces of flour tortillas bulk up the easy casserole. A satisfying and comforting winter dinner filled with Mexican-inspired flavors.
