Description
John Wayne Casserole is the ultimate comfort dish that combines ground beef, vegetables, and a cheesy topping, all baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup water
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup white onion, diced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles, do not drain
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix and water until well mixed.
- Spread the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If the dough is sticky, use a spatula sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to help press it out.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper for 5-6 minutes or until the meat is browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes, and corn, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the meat mixture evenly over the dough in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese until combined.
- Spread the sour cream mixture over the beef layer in the baking dish, followed by the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, consider using Pepper Jack cheese or adding jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- You can prepare the casserole ahead of time and freeze it unbaked for a quick meal later. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from frozen.
