Never go to the grocery store when you’re hungry is advice we’ve all ignored. Such was the case tonight, when I wandered Publix for dinner and strolled past the cooking station serving samples of this easy quesadilla bake. All of the ingredients were right there in the cooler and that was that.
It took about 10 minutes worth of prep and 20 minutes to bake and it would feed 4. I will certainly make this for my family.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400
- Saute ground beef. When almost browned, add in the taco seasoning and salsa. Cook it through.
