How to Make Spicy Mexican Beef Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and salsa.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and the sliced jalapenos (if using).
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
