How to Make Cowboy Casserole Sp5

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat until completely cooked. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Crumble the beef well and stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), and 1 cup of your favorite salsa.
  4. Mix thoroughly and season generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste.
  5. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange 2 lbs small red potatoes (halved or quartered if large).
  6. Pour the beef mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and heated through. Remove foil during the last 5 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
