Cinco de Mayo Casserole image

A simple, satisfying main dish that our family enjoys. You can use reduced-fat cheeses and sour cream, but don't use the fat-free choices. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, sliced black olives, more salsa, and warmed tortillas.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

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 (7 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 cup sour cream
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer ground beef to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Spoon onion mixture over ground beef.
  • Mix tomatoes with green chile peppers, salsa, corn, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper into ground beef mixture; top with remaining 2 cups Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
