Country Crock Mexican Beef and Corn Casserole {Recipe and Giveaway} #countrycrockcasserole

Sharing is caring!

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.

CountryCrockThis 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!

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.
