Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables & Beans

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 can (15 oz) beans, drained and rinsed (black beans or pinto beans recommended)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if desired to reduce greasiness.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked ground beef to the crock pot. Add corn, drained beans, and diced tomatoes with their juices.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the mixture is heated through and flavors meld.
  4. Add Cheese: About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
  5. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, spoon the casserole into bowls and enjoy with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can skip browning the beef and add raw ground beef directly to the crock pot, but browning enhances flavor.
  • Feel free to customize with additional spices like cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • This casserole can be served over rice or with tortilla chips for added texture.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optional toppings such as jalapeños, sliced olives, or green onions can add freshness and heat.
