Our fall schedule has not slowed down one bit since the kids started back at school. We are crazy busy and on-the-go leaving me little time to worry about things, especially dinner. I have been trying out some new easy recipes that I can make ahead during the day and simply pop in the oven to heat come dinner time. And it’s been a life saver.

I have the time during the day to prepare dinner so I am trying to use that to my advantage. Now I know that dinner is taken care of and we won’t be eating cereal at 7 pm when we finally settle down from the day’s activities.

One of our go-to quick dinners is tacos but that can get boring over time. So I decided to take a family favorite, put a twist on it, and turn it into something that I can make ahead of time. This 30-Minute Taco Bake is the ideal weeknight dinner solution. It takes hardly any time to throw together. And I guarantee the kids will gobble it up!
