Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow or white onion diced
  • 2 ounces taco seasoning
  • 1 cup water
  • 30 ounces frozen hashbrowns thawed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 10.75 ounce can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces corn drained
  • 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes (10 ounces) drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños sour cream, green onions, cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. 
  • Over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is no longer pink.  Drain excess fat. 
  • Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until well  combined. 
  • Spread the hash brown mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish. 
  • Layer the beef mixture over the hash browns. 
  • In another bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with the cheddar cheese soup. Spread over the beef  layer. 
  • Evenly spread the black beans, corn, and Rotel over the soup mixture. 
  • Top with the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. 
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before  serving. 

Notes

  • Switch up the ground beef for ground turkey or ground chicken. A spicy pork sausage will work too!
  • Add some green chilies, use spicy taco seasoning, or even add some diced jalapeños for a spicier version.
  • Fresh diced tomatoes can be used in place of Rotel.
  • Shredded, cubed, or diced frozen hashbrowns will work.
  • Leave out the cream soup or substitute it with another like cream of onion.
  • Use you favorite cheeses like pepper jack or colby jack.
  • Top with fresh chopped cilantro or sliced green onions.
