Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn (drained)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 10 small corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the onion is softened.
Stir in the Rotel tomatoes (with liquid), cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, drained corn, chili powder, and ground cumin. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Place a layer of corn tortillas evenly over the meat mixture. Tear the tortillas if needed to cover the entire surface.
Spread another layer of the meat mixture over the tortillas, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process (tortillas, meat mixture, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cheese.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Rotel Mexican Casserole with a side of sour cream or guacamole if desired!
