Crock Pot Mexican Casserole

This time of year is busy for me; just like all of you are I am sure. I don’t about you, but sometimes I am not sure if I am coming or going. So it’s so nice to have recipes like this Crock Pot Mexican Casserole.

My guys in the house love these types of casseroles for their flavor and I love that they don’t take a lot of effort. This casserole replaces the ground beef that you usually find in a dish of this sort and uses ground turkey in its place. You will also find beans (you can choose which type of beans for this dish, I chose black beans), corn, salsa, and a whole lot of flavor in this dish.

So if you are rushing around and need a tasty meal I hope that you think about trying this crock pot casserole. Serve it with a side salad and tortilla chips and you are set to go.
