Mexican casserole

Step by Step

Step 1

Prep: First, preheat the oven to 375ºF and spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Brown Ground Beef: Place ground beef in a frying pan and cook over medium/high heat until fully cooked. It will take around 7-10 minutes. If you used a fattier beef, drain the excess fat from the beef.

Step 3

Mix: Transfer cooked meat into the casserole dish and add the rest of the ingredients (minus the cheese) into the casserole dish and mix to combine.

Step 4

Bake: Cover casserole dish with tin foil and bake at 375ºF for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, mix, and sprinkle on cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered.

Step 5

Let the casserole sit on the stovetop for 10-15 minutes to further thicken up.

Tips and Warnings

As your leftover casserole sits in the fridge overnight, it will thicken.
