Ingredients
- 1 pound russet potatoes
- 1/3 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 14.5 ounces can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese sliced or shredded
Instructions
- Add cold water to a medium saucepan. Peel your potatoes and cut them into large cubes, adding them to the water as you cut them. This will help keep them from turning brown. Once all potatoes are cut, cover the pan and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, take off the lid and reduce it to a simmer. Simmer 10-15 minutes until it breaks with a fork.1 pound russet potatoes
- While the potatoes are simmering, chop your onion. Heat a pan on medium high, then add a little oil once the pan is hot. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the onion, and saute until it is translucent. Once the onion is soft, add the ground beef.1 cup chopped onion, 1 pound ground beef
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Ensure that the beef is broken up into crumbles as it browns. Once it is fully browned - usually 3-5 minutes - remove it from the heat. Place the cooked beef into an 8x8 pan, and add the can of tomatoes, including juice. Stir until just mixed. Top with the corn in a new layer, and return to your potatoes.14.5 ounces can diced tomatoes, 1 cup corn kernels
