Tex-Mex Bean Bake with Cornbread Topping image

I frequently cooked this dish when I was on the cross-country team in college. We loved this veggie-packed bake so much I would have to make two! For a meaty version, substitute shredded chicken for half of the potato. -Samantha Westveer, Kentwood, Michigan

TEX-MEX SQUASH BAKE



Tex-Mex Squash Bake image

Great way to use up the ever-plentiful summertime squash. Very flexible recipe. Definitely a very yummy family favorite. Love to serve it over rice or millet. It can be easily adjusted to suit your tastes. I have used shredded cooked chicken in place of the beef. I have also added other garden veggies that I needed to use up.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground beef
¼ cup olive oil, divided
4 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions, chopped -- white and green parts separated
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 teaspoons chili powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook and stir the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crumbly, breaking the meat apart as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Set the beef aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Pour the remaining olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the zucchini, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and the white parts of the green onions until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and mix in the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin. Allow the mixture to simmer until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the browned ground beef, black beans, kidney beans, corn, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary, and spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling in the center, 20 to 25 minutes; remove the foil, return to oven, and bake until the cheese is browned, 5 to 10 more minutes. Sprinkle the remaining green onions (green tops) and cilantro over the top.

Tips:
