Creating the Crockpot Taco Casserole is easy with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

6. Add Tortilla Chips: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips on top of the casserole.
7. Top with Remaining Cheese: Add the remaining cheddar cheese over the tortilla chips and cover again until melted.
8. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and everything is heated through, it’s ready to serve.
