Mexican Potato Casserole
Sometimes I try to find ways to fancy up potatoes for dinner. Potatoes are so cheap, especially when you are on a budget. And we are definitely on a budget because we are buying our first house, so we won’t have as much wiggle room in our current budget until my husband gets his next raise.
I came up with this quick skillet dish on a whim & it turned out great. My husband kept looking at me surprised that everything came out so flavorful & hearty.
Mexican Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- 3 small potatoes, scrubbed & diced small
- ¾ lb ground beef
- ½ white onion, diced small
- 1 green bell pepper, diced small
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Chipotle Seasoning, (Or substitute with cayenne pepper starting at ⅛ tsp & adjust to desired heat.)
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream, (can sub sour cream)
- 1 cup frozen corn
Instructions
- In a medium pot of water add potatoes & heat until boiling. Boil for 10+ minutes or until just done. (Think potato salad doneness-NOT mushy.) Drain & set aside.
- Meanwhile, brown beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the fat. Return meat to skillet, add onion & pepper & saute 3 minutes. Add taco mix, chipotle seasoning, tomato sauce, brown sugar, heavy cream & frozen corn. Stir constantly until mixture bubbles. Add potatoes & heat everything through.
- Serve topped with cheese & sour cream, if desired.
