How to Make Western Beef Casserole Au Gratin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 2 1/2 to 3-quart casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef with a spoon.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Evenly spread 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn (drained) over the meat mixture.

- Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup instant potato flakes until smooth and creamy. Add 4 ounces canned green chilies (diced) and stir to combine.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly over the corn layer.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.
