Today I’m sharing a great potluck dish, Baked Nacho Casserole, which is perfect for taking to picnics, parties, and get-togethers!What’s great about this perfect potluck dish is that it can be considered either an appetizer with the nacho chips or a main dish because of the added beef.  So if the hostess needs to set out an appetizer, she can set out this casserole early for guests to enjoy. Or, if she needs a main dish or side, then this can be set out with the main course!

If you want to bring this casserole along with you to your next summer gathering, I’ve got the recipe for you below.

This dish will definitely be a hit at your next event! I mean, who doesn’t like nachos? But this is even easier than nachos, because you just simply heat it up and serve! And if you want to add some greens to it, serve it on a bed of shredded lettuce and you have an instant taco salad.
