This is my favorite time of year! It’s also the most exhausting time of year for me. With all the Christmas programs, holiday parties and get-togethers, decorating, running errands, shopping, wrapping… whew, I’m tired just talking about it. In all my rushing around, I need easy, delicious meals to make for my family. One of our favorites is taco bake.

I love the Kraft Holiday Recipes Hub on walmart.com because they have a wonderful selection of recipes like taco bake for busy moms like me, plus a plethora of recipes for entertaining for the holidays…. from appetizers to desserts. You can make every day delicious with Kraft.

Since one of my husband’s favorite foods is tacos and my son’s is mac & cheese, the taco bake makes for the perfect meal to make for my family. It’s easy, contains few ingredients that are easy to find, and it’s hearty and delicious. Casseroles are the best during the busy holiday season, too.
