I created this potato and chorizo casserole recipe for my son who is diabetic and gluten-free. Easy to prepare, easy on the budget!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- ½ pound Mexican chorizo, casing removed and meat crumbled
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (2 pound) package hash brown potatoes
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- shredded lettuce
- 1 cup guacamole
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, chorizo, and onion until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, coriander, and black pepper. Add black beans, tomatoes, and corn; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
Step 3
Combine cream cheese and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat on high until melted, about 1 minute. Stir cream cheese mixture until smooth; spread over meat mixture. Layer hash browns over cream cheese mixture and top with Cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and potatoes are lightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with shredded lettuce and guacamole.
Cook’s Note:
For a more authentic Mexican dish, substitute queso panela for the cream cheese and queso blanco for Cheddar.
