A warm, hearty casserole with ground beef or turkey, beans, and vegetables, topped with melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • 3 cups diced potatoes, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar or your favorite melting cheese
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or about 2 tablespoons homemade seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and chopped onion. Cook until fully browned and the onion is soft, then drain off excess fat.
  2. Transfer the browned meat and onion to the slow cooker.
  3. Add the drained black beans, diced tomatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and diced potatoes.
  4. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and stir gently until well combined.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 360-480 minutes (6 to 8 hours) or on high for 180-240 minutes (3 to 4 hours), until the potatoes are tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover to melt.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a milder flavor, swap black beans for pinto beans. Use low-sodium diced tomatoes and reduced-salt taco seasoning for less sodium.
