Recipe Tips
- You can use a different type of cheese if you are not a huge fan of cheddar.
- To help avoid this casserole becoming too soupy, I highly recommend that you pre-cook the ground beef. The bacon can be added uncooked, but it will not crisp up in the slow cooker.
- You do not have to use crispy bacon, but it certainly does add to the texture and taste of the dish.
- Add more cheese if you can never get enough of it. Simply scatter another cup over the top of the casserole.
- You can always make taco seasoning from scratch if you cannot get your hands on some packet taco seasoning. All you need is a few key spices in your cupboard.
