I love this casserole. It’s become such a staple for me. It’s easy and freezable. Sometimes I fry some ground beef to serve with it. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

In reply to natalie.

Oh no…maybe I should measure the depth of my pan. I wonder if that maybe the issue. I hope so because some readers have been noting that too…you can most definitely add some hot sauce. I always add some heat to it. I think my taco seasoning and marinara sauce probably has to do w/ the fact that we don’t get a bland mixture but you can add more taco seasoning next time for sure!! Thanks for leaving a reply.

I just made this recipe and it was very bland, I followed your instructions to a T! I guess I will add hot sauce and salsa since I don’t want to waste all that food. In the future I think other users should use less quinoa, after I made it I saw other similar recipes using 1-2 cups of quinoa.
Also you say your pan is 9/13, however you are not including the depth of the pan. My pan is a standard pyrex 9/13, and about 2.5inches deep. yours must be a lot deeper as mine was also overflowing!

In reply to Rose. Oh wow just saw this. Sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to advice because dried beans behave so much different that already cooked beans. I would suggest keeping an eye on them and adding more water as you go. Thanks for stopping by!

In reply to Kim. I would do 2 1/2 cups. I think that should be enough!
