Its back to life for us. Thanksgiving break is officially over and life starts getting hectic once again. I really enjoyed our 9 days of nothingness. No soccer, no gymnastics, no school and no crazy taxi mom service. Now that we’re back to “real” life I need to get back on track. Cooking and preparing meals ahead of time because I just don’t have that extra few hours to think about such things. I need to be on top of my game and make sure I am prepared and organized or life just seems even more crazy. We officially have 15 school days until Christmas break starts. We are already counting down here. Hehe

This casserole is the perfect dinner to get back into the groove of things. It comes together very quickly and is delicious! As you can tell from looking around my blog, I am a little obsessed with casseroles and any type of mexican food. So this casserole was just down my ally. I ate if for leftovers for 3 days and I do not do leftovers. I just don’t do them. I normally don’t like them, but this casserole was perfect as leftovers. Just warm it up a few seconds and wha-la you have a tasty meal.

I like dishes that don’t require a lot of time. I don’t know about you guys, but once my hubby is home from work, I don’t want to do anything else. I just want to hang out with the family and relax. This Texas Ranch Casserole is the perfect meal that you can make ahead of time and just throw it in the oven again to warm up. It is fail proof and doesn’t require a ton of labor. Like I said it’s a perfect, quick and delicious casserole! Give it a try, you’re gonna love it!
