Satisfying Cinco de Mayo casserole with seasoned ground beef, creamy corn, sour cream, and melted Cheddar cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), drained
  • 1 cup salsa, drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (7 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect cooking environment.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the beef until browned and crumbly, taking about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess grease and transfer the beef to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Spoon over ground beef.
  • Combine the tomatoes, green chile peppers, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, corn, salt, and black pepper with the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Place your dish in the oven already preheated, and bake until fully cooked and the cheese is melted, for approximately 45 minutes. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving to ensure maximum flavor development.
