Recipe

Farmhouse Beef Casserole

(makes 6 servings)

olive oil cooking spray
1small, about 4 ounces (120 g), Russet or all-purpose potato
1cup (114 g) shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1pound (480 g) extra-lean ground sirloin
1medium yellow onion, chopped
2cloves garlic, minced
114 1/2-ounce (435 g) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juice
1tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
2cups (140 g) shredded green cabbage
salt (optional)
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 3tablespoons purchased taco sauce
6slices pickled jalapeño chile peppers (optional)

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C, Gas Mark 5). Lightly coat a 2-quart (2 l) casserole with cooking spray.
  2. Peel and grate the potato into a bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup (29 g) of the cheese. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared casserole. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until potato is browned and crispy.
  3. Meanwhile, brown ground sirloin, onion, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon as it browns. Discard any excess fat. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, chili powder, and the cabbage. Season with pepper to taste. Sauté, stirring, for a minute or two. If mixture seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of the bottled taco sauce, adding up to 2 tablespoons more, if needed, if mixture seems too dry.
  4. When potatoes are done, spoon beef mixture on top of potatoes. Top with remaining cheese and jalapeño slices (if using). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until casserole is hot and bubbly. Serve at once.
