Taco Salad Bake

Sinkology is proud to present Emily Schuermann, our food-loving guest blogger who runs Food for a Year. Emily is here to share some recipes she has created exclusively for the Sinkology blog that reflect her view of a copper sink: simple, timeless, affordable, and beautifully rustic.

As a kid, Taco Salad was my very favorite meal! Maybe because it was almost like having nachos for dinner by the time I finished assembling my salad. No, but really – I think some of the best dinnertime solutions are those that involve a ‘build your own’ component. It makes for an easy meal solution and leaves room for even the pickiest eater to find satisfaction at the table.

I’m excited to share a simple twist on my flashback favorite 1980’s meal by adding many of the classic taco salad ingredients into the taco meat then topping it with shredded cheese before baking it in a casserole pan until gooey and bubbling. 

One of the best parts of this Taco Salad Bake is the flexibility to add-in and subtract any ingredients as you please. Depending on the season or refrigerator, each time you make this it may look a little different.

3 Quick Steps

There are 3 steps to this recipe:

• making the taco meat
• baking the meat + cheese until bubbly
• serving with all the “salad extras”

Taco Salad Bake – the taco meat part

• ground beef, browned
• green salsa
• red salsa
• crushed tomatoes
• sliced onion
• taco seasoning 
• s + p if needed

Combine the taco meat ingredients and seasonings, bringing the ingredients to a simmer.

Taco Salad Bake – the ‘baked’ part

• diced tomato
• frozen corn
• black beans
• sliced black olives
• diced red + white onion
• shredded Colby Jack cheese

Once these ingredients are combined with the Taco Meat, place in a preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the ‘bake’ is bubbly.

Taco Salad Bake – the salad part

• Doritos, nacho cheese flavor (that’s mom’s way!)
• lettuce
• additional diced tomatoes, onions, olives and cheese
• toasted shredded coconut flakes
• sour cream 
• Catalina salad dressing

After the Taco Bake has finished cooking in the oven, it’s time to layer the salad toppings and serve. Of course – there are no rules here so feel free to add and omit according to your preferences — you’re the BOSS!

After this Taco Bake Salad was served, I practically kicked myself with a combination of excitement and frustration — Why don’t I make this more often?! It is SO EASY and SO GOOD and SO PRETTY!! And no kidding – that first bite {with the spicy taco meat and layers of cheese and toppings and the crunch of the nacho cheese Doritos and the all important drizzle of Catalina salad dressing – oh what a glorious and GIANT bite it was} – flashed me right back to the ‘hopper seat’ in the dining room of my childhood home in 1982.

You don’t know about a hopper seat? Well – I’ll save that for a post another time, but trust me, the hopper seat is a good thing (at least for everyone not in the hopper seat).

Taco Salad Bake, I love everything about you.

Triple Cheese Mushroom Fundido

Sinkology is proud to present Emily Schuermann, our food-loving guest blogger who runs Food for a Year. Emily is here to share some recipes she has created exclusively for the Sinkology blog that reflect her view of a copper sink: simple, timeless, affordable, and beautifully rustic.

Fundido — it’s the first thing I look for on any appetizer menu and it’s the first thing that disappears from the table. Ever heard of fundido? It’s a baked cheesy, queso-type dip with a blend of cheeses and some meats or veggies. It’s delicious and crave-able and surprisingly easy to recreate in your own kitchen and because of that, a Fundido is the perfect food for GAME DAY!

Football season is in full swing and that means it’s time to gather up some easy and delicious Fall Game Day recipes!

Fundido Cheese Trio

For this Fundido recipe, I chose a blend of my favorite cheeses ::

• Monterey Jack cheese
• roasted red pepper goat cheese
• Asadero (a Mexican melting cheese)

Fundido Veggie + Herbs

And a classic combination of herbs and veggies ::

• mushrooms
• onions
• sweet red peppers
• rosemary
• thyme

Simple Assembly

Once you’ve selected your Fundido add-ins, sauté and layer with cheese and cream.

Quick Bake Time

Bake until completely melted and golden bubbly.

The Perfect Game Day Snack

I love this exact combination of cheeses with the veggies and aromatic herbs. The herby thyme and rosemary-infused mushrooms, peppers and onions are really as-good-as-it-gets. My favorite accompaniment are some sliced, toasted baguette rounds. The perfect treat to enjoy while rooting for your favorite team!

Triple Cheese Mushroom Fundido

• 4 oz Crimini mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
• 4 T sweet red pepper, diced
• 1 T butter
• 1 T canola oil
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 2 oz heavy whipping cream
• 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese, grated
• 5 oz Asadero cheese, (or another melting cheese), diced
• 2 oz flavored goat cheese (I used a roasted red pepper goat cheese)

Preheat oven to 400°.

In a medium skillet, over medium/high flame, melt together oil and butter.

Once the fats are melted and the skillet is hot, add mushrooms, onions, peppers and herb sprigs. Caramelize one side of the veggies before stirring. Continue cooking and searing until the veggies are tender. Remove from flame, discard herbs and place in a small bowl.

Grease a 6″-7″ cast iron skillet with butter.

Layer cheeses and vegetables finishing with a final layer of cheese.

Drizzle cream over the cheeses and vegetables and place on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overspill.

Place into the preheated oven and bake 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Serve with toasted baguette rounds or crackers.

Serves 4-6
