Papa's Papas Casserole image

"Papas" is the word for "potatoes" in Quechua, the language of the Incas. Potatoes, which originated in Peru, are one of the most important foods to come from the New World. This casserole was inspired by the cuisine of Peru. Please note: this is not a recipe for sauce served over pasta.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Cook, stirring, until meat is browned, breaking up large chunks with a spoon.
  • Add beans and mushrooms, and cook 1 minute.
  • Add tomato sauce and cook, stirring, until heated, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in one-third of the cheese and cook just until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I will add more spices next time I make it.

This casserole was a bit too rich for me. I think it would be better with less cheese or if I used a lower-fat milk.

I made this casserole for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! The only thing I changed was that I used half and half instead of milk, which made it even more creamy.
