Preheat the oven to 375℉.
Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add Rotel, taco seasoning, water, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour mixture into a 9×13 baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Top with shredded cheese and Fritos corn chips.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve with your favorite taco toppings. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Bake this delicious taco casserole in an oven-safe skillet instead of a baking dish. This will help with the after dinner clean up and make it an even more convenient dinner recipe.
Adjust the spice level of the casserole by using a mild, medium or hot Rotel. This allows you to customize the dish depending on how much spice you and your family love.
Make the dish ahead of time, refrigerate and bake when you are ready to use. It is always great to have a make ahead dinner.
Use a foil pan to make this dish. Using a foil pan gives you more flexibility. It also allows you to give this casserole to a friend for a special treat.
To reheat this dish you can use the oven or the microwave. For the oven, preheat it to 350 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes or until it is heated through. To microwave, place a single serving on a microwave safe plate, cover and heat for 1-2 minutes.
