Taco Bake

Taco Bake! I always put vegetables in there to pad out the casserole and to make it more nutritious. Also, I used ground chicken, not ground beef.

And, look! I used a small plate.



Here's the Taco Bake recipe from Kraft Food and Family. It's pretty good as is but I like the veggies in it (I just boil the frozen veggies along with the pasta).
