Low Carb Taco Casserole

This recipe is pretty tasty and easy. I found a way to make it easier and faster on a weeknight is to pre-brown the ground meat with the taco seasoning on the weekends when I have more free time.  Since everything has to warm up in the oven anyway, it's a bit of a time saver for me to be able to pop the already cooked meat out of the fridge and just start the assembly. Hope you enjoy the tip and the recipe!
