Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Taco Biscuit Casserole

Okay....you guys know that "bubble up" casseroles are all over the place. The first one I tried was just recently and I have to say, I'M A FAN! Oh my, they are so easy and so fun and can be switched up in so many ways! Because we're a Mexican food loving bunch around here, I decided to try my hand at something a little south of the border. SUCCESS!! This is so good and so simple! If you haven't tried a casserole like this before, I'm telling you...this is the one you want to start with. Then get creative and see what YOU can come up with!

Taco Biscuit Casserole



1 8-count can of flaky biscuits ~ cut into eighths
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion ~ diced
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
