What toppings can I add?
The same toppings that you put on your tacos are the toppings that you should be putting on this Taco Bake.
How do I keep the leftovers?
If you have any left, I am so happy for you! You will get a snack before bedtime. Meantime, cool the food to room temperature and then place it in an airtight container. It will last for up to 4 days.
Can I freeze this if I make a double batch?
You could certainly freeze the dish before you add toppings to the dish. After it has baked, allow it to cool completely and then cover with plastic or place it in an airtight container. You can leave it in the freezer for up to 4 months.. However, I am sure that it will not last that long there.
