Southwest Potato Casserole image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: Try this yummy cheesy zesty potato casserole! It has all of the southwest flavors I love. It's very comforting and satisfying too. It is super easy to throw together, and uses pantry staples most of us have on hand. I really enjoyed it with tuna, but I think it would be just as good Vegetarian or with cooked chicken, cooked ground beef or cooked sausage. I made this pretty mild, but it can easily be spiced up with fresh or canned jalapenos or added red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Feel free to use reduced-fat cheese.

1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, chopped (to make it spicier, you can use fresh jalapenos or canned chopped jalapenos)
3 cups colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded (2 for filling, 1 to top)
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup salsa, drained (I used Pace chunky mild salsa)
1/4 cup cilantro, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2-1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2-1 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
6 green onions, sliced
sour cream, to serve
hot sauce, to serve (we like Tapatio)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 13x9 baking dish.
  • Mix together the first 8 ingredients through the first 2 cups of shredded cheese.
  • Mix together the sour cream, salsa, cilantro, garlic, cumin and salt and stir into the potato mixture until it's well coated.
  • Spread mix into prepared baking dish and top with remaining cup of cheese.
  • Bake for 60 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions.
  • Can serve right away, but sauce will thicken more if you let it sit 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream and hot sauce. This is really good served alongside a crisp salad.
