This ground beef and potato casserole is hearty comfort food with a little kick and Southwestern flair. We like ours garnished with chopped parsley, sour cream, pickled jalape?os, chopped tomatoes, and a side of pita bread.

Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (11- ounce) can corn, drained
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons riracha, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a large baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2
Wash potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet, and set aside.

Step 3
In the same skillet, cook and stir beef and onion, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Drain grease from the skillet.

Step 4
Stir in corn, salsa, chicken broth, taco seasoning, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Return potatoes to the skillet, stirring gently, and cook, covered, for about 5 minutes. Transfer beef mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with cheese.

Step 5
Bake casserole in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Cook’s Note:

Gold potatoes are a good option, as well, since they hold their shape, and tend to not break up easily. The spiciness can be controlled by the amount of Sriracha.
