Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1.5 - 2 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Mix the ground meat and taco seasoning in a large greased casserole dish. Mine is 11 x 13. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the cottage cheese, salsa, and 1 cup of the cheese. Set aside.
  • Remove the casserole dish from the oven and carefully drain the cooking liquid from the meat. Break up the meat into small pieces. A potato masher works great for this. Spread the cottage cheese and salsa mixture on top of the meat. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the meat is cooked thoroughly and the cheese is hot and bubbly.
