Its so easy and perfect for busy weeknights.

With three kids, each with a busy schedule, she didnt have much time to create anything complicated.

I never got her recipe, but luckilyMartha Stewarts versioncomes pretty close.

I dont always have time to braise a chicken in the oven or whip up ahomemade quiche.

Thats why I love dishes that come together quickly, like Marthas Taco Casserole.

It turns classic beef tacos into a simple, easy-to-whip-up casserole.

The best part is that everyone in my family loves it.

Like tacos, the dish is easy to customize.

Once those are softened, a pound of ground beef is browned in the same hot skillet.

Next, spices and seasonings are added, followed by tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes.

Its ready in no time for serving with lots of toppings.
