Ingredients

• 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 4 oz green chilies, diced (canned)
• 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz canned corn, drained
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced green chilies, black beans, and corn. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash browns, sour cream, salsa, 1 cup of the shredded Mexican-blend cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Layer half of the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the top, then layer the remaining hash brown mixture over the beef layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican-blend cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Mexican Hash Browns Casserole!
