This zippy Mexican casserole is a real winner at our house. It's so flavorful and filling, we usually just accompany it with rice and black beans. If your family has spicier tastes, increase the chili powder and use a medium or hot salsa.—Julie Huffman, New Lebanon, Ohio

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup water
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups salsa, divided
10 flour tortillas (8 inches), cut into 3/4-inch strips, divided
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, chili powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Place 1/4 cup salsa each in two greased 8-in. square baking dishes. Layer each dish with a fourth of the tortillas and 1/4 cup salsa.
Divide the meat mixture, sour cream and corn between the two casseroles. Top with remaining tortillas, salsa and cheese.
Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 1 month. Cover and bake second casserole at 350° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until heated through.
To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake as directed above. Yield: 2 casseroles (4-6 servings each).

I would like to try it, but after seeing how much sodium is in it, don't think I will.

It was good, just fine really. Nothing special and there are so many grounf beef casserole dishes, I would prob just try another one instead of this one again but it was not bad.

This is such a fast & easy recipe and one my whole family has enjoyed multiple times. I added a little taco seasoning to the mix; added a little extra spice to it.
