There are a couple of things that we absolutely love about this easy casserole recipe. First of all, like its name hints, Impossibly Easy Fiesta Bake is super easy to make. Secondly, it is loaded with delicious seasonings, including salsa, ground beef, and loads of cheese. And lastly, we love the fact that it is topped with cornbread to bring it all together in one satisfying casserole. Don't you want to dig in?
