This Taco Bell cheesy potato casserole is a copycat of the favorite fiesta potatoes, but with ground beef! This cheesy, bubbly, family-friendly hot casserole is mildly seasoned. Garnish with pico de gallo and cilantro if you like.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 0.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup nacho cheese
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons taco sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and boil potatoes until tender, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

  3. 3

    Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle with oil, season with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and salt. Toss until well combined. Spread potatoes evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with remaining taco seasoning. Drain grease if needed.

  6. 6

    Transfer potatoes to a 8x10-inch casserole dish. Drizzle with half the nacho cheese, then add ground beef on top. Sprinkle with Cheddar and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons taco sauce.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Top with sour cream, remaining nacho cheese and serve immediately.
