Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 package Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 can Black beans
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 1 can Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0 N/A Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds, then rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well to coat the beef. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Drain and rinse the black beans. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, frozen corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies.

Step 6

Layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. Spread 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by 1/3 of the bean, corn, and tomato mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the process for two more layers, ending with the remaining cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Top with dollops of sour cream, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
