How to Make Quick Taco Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Transfer the beef mixture to an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  4. Stir in 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning, 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 oz) can corn (drained), and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and extra shredded cheese, if desired.
