Fall-O me in to the kitchen for Au Gratin Taco Bake

Do you ever pick up Taste of Home's cooking magazines? Not the one that you can purchase a bi-monthly subscription for, but their thicker magazine full of nothing but recipes! Every time I see one, I buy it! I love Taste of Home!
I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Casseroles, Slow Cookers and Soups magazine from April 2010.

So quick and easy to put together...this recipe was in the oven after about 15 minutes from beginning to end prep-time! I served it with a Shoe Peg Corn Casserole and mini sweet cornbread muffins! Yum!

*1 lb ground beef
*1 4.9 oz pkg au gratin potatoes

*1 14 1/2 oz can no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, undrained
 *3/4 cup milk
*1/2 cup water
*2 TBSP taco seasoning (I added the entire pkg)

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until longer pink; drain. Stir in the potatoes and contents of sauce mix, corn, tomatoes, milk, water and taco seasoning. Transfer to a greased 2 qt (8x8in) baking dish.


Cover and bake at 350* for 65 - 70 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
