This easy Cinco de Mayo recipe is a simple, satisfying main dish our family enjoys. You can use reduced-fat cheeses and sour cream but don't use the fat-free choices. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, sliced black olives, more salsa, and warmed tortillas.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), drained
1 cup salsa, drained
1 cup sour cream
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (7 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer beef to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Spoon onion mixture over ground beef.
Mix tomatoes with green chile peppers, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, corn, salt, and black pepper into ground beef mixture; top with remaining 2 cups Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
