This is based on a recipe from the Allrecipes website submitted by AndreaLF63, which I made a few minor changes to suit our taste preferences such as adding a can of white corn and using canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh chopped tomatoes. But I look forward to making this again and trying some of the other changes that some of the reviewers suggested, like maybe adding some minced garlic or perhaps a diced jalapeno pepper or chopped bell pepper.

Categories     Macaroni And Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 of a medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb ground beef (or meat of your choice)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I use the one with green chilies)
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheese (A mix of cheddar and pepper jack is good)
1 (6 ounce) can of large black olives, sliced
4 cups pasta (I use large elbow macaroni)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil, then add chopped onion. Cook just until onion begins to turn translucent, then add minced garlic.
  • In a large pot, cook pasta in salted, boiling water until just done (about 9 minutes. It will cook a little more in the oven). This can be going on while you're assembling the ingredients in the skillet.
  • Returning to the skillet, add beef and taco seasoning. Once the beef is cooked through, then add tomatoes, corn, beans, and sour cream. Stir until well combined. Add shredded cheese. Then add drained, cooked pasta.
  • Transfer to a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. If desired, sprinkle more shredded cheese over the top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is golden.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa, if you like. Enjoy! =).

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef before adding it to the casserole.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake it, just bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

This easy meaty Mexican casserole is a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this casserole a try!
