Eat Like a Sim – Taco Casserole Recipe (Sims 4)

Today’s recipe is for Sims 4 Taco Casserole, which is found in the Sims 4 at level 3 cooking skill (and costs 43 simoleons to make). This particular in-game recipe is a staple in my Sims 4 Legacy Challenge family as it feeds a lot of people and seems to fill them up quite nicely.

I thought the in-game item looked pretty tasty, so I decided to take a shot at making a real-life version! The best part about this particular recipe is that it is very customizable. You can add in lots of different optional add-ins depending on your own personal preferences.

If you so desire, this Taco Casserole can also be made vegetarian by substituting refried beans or black beans (no need to cook them beforehand) with the cooked rice instead of the meat. You could even use dairy free cheese and sour cream such as Daiya if you want to make this vegan.

I tried to get the real-life recipe to look as close to the in-game version as possible and i think I did a pretty good job with that. This recipe was well received by my family. I’m going to attempt to make a vegetarian version of it next time to see how it compares.

Thank you!

This was awesome! I added a layer of shredded corn tortillas that i slightly cooked with oil so they would still be soft not hard, and it tasted so great.

Thanks!

I made this today and loved it! I’ll certainly be making it again 🙂
I changed the recipe by adding kidney beans to the beef and rice mixture for added Mexican flavour.

Looking forward to the next recipe 🙂

Yum! I thought about adding beans, but I didn’t have any at the time. I’ll try that next time!

This looks so good!! I’ll have to swap out the meat though. I’ vegetarian. So, I’ll use beans instead 🙂

ImaginingMystic

It would probably be delicious with beans! I was thinking about making a vegetarian version of this at some point so I could post it up on here for those of you that don’t eat meat. Let me know how it comes out for you!
