John Wayne Casserole

My John Wayne Casserole is a delicious and super easy layered casserole. It’s full of layers of ground beef, taco seasoning, biscuits and cream cheese. It’s great for busy weeknights or for whenever you’re craving something comforting. The combination of taco-seasoned beef, creamy, tangy cream cheese/sour cream mixture, and melty cheddar offers a perfect balance of Tex-Mex flavors and comfort food indulgence.
