Taco Pie or Salad
(from Coker Family’s recipe box)
You can “build” this in your glass casserole dish…but because some don’t care for all of the ingredients I keep each ingredient separate and let each person build their own.
This is good as is or you can use the “Spicy French Salad Dressing” in this book.
My friend, Sue, never used the Ranch Style Beans…but I tried this once and we loved it.
