I was recently invited to join the Country Crock Casserole Club. Country Crock sent me a kit with various items including some ingredients, a coupon for Country Crock and a recipe for Mexican Beef & Corn Casserole. My challenge was to take their recipe and give it my own twist.
This was an awesome challenge for me. I love casseroles, but rarely make anything Mexican, so when looking at the ingredients provided I knew I had to get out of my comfort zone a little. The results were fabulous and I am excited to share!
My kit included a cheese shredder, a spatula, a oven mitt, one can reduced soduim black beans, and one can Mexicorn as well as the coupon for Country Crock Spread.
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small onion
- 1 green pepper
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 can (15.5 oz) reduced sodium black beans, drained
- 1 can (11 oz) Mexicorn, drained
- 2 Tbsp. Country Crock Spread
- ½ cup salsa
- ⅔ cup fat free sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or other cheese)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup crushed nacho cheese chips
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Cook ground beef in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, add garlic, onion and green pepper when beef is about halfway cooked (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
- Combine black beans, corn and Country Crock Spread in an 8-inch baking dish. Top with beef mixture, spread with salsa and sour crean and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Top with shredded lettuce and nacho cheese chips
I made mine with 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef and made it in a 9 x 13 dish so the cheese shredded lettuce and chips may be less for a smaller dish.
My family and I loved this casserole. Even my husband who loves to cook and has suggestions about how everything I make can be better loved this dish. I think the kids loved it before they even tasted it because it had chips on top. I loved it just as it was, but Kyle thought the beef could use a little seasoning of some kind or possibly more Country Crock Spread.
