Fiesta Beef Casserole Recipe

(from The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds ground beef (NOTE: We used the 50/50 meat and it was AMAZING!!!)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 12 ounces chunky salsa
• 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream (NOTE: We replaced this with yogurt!)
• 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded cheddar (Our cheese of course!)
• 1 head lettuce, coarsely chopped
• 3 tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a large, heated skillet with olive oil. Add the ground beef (or 50/50) sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder; cook until the meat browns.

Remove beef (or 50/50) to a large bowl, and add the salsa, corn and mayonnaise or sour cream (or yogurt). Spread one-half of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 2-quart casserole. Top with one cup of the tortilla chips, followed by one cup of the cheese. Repeat the layers. Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve on a bed of chopped lettuce, and top with tomatoes.

(We recommend you use organic ingredients as much as possible.)
