- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 can (10.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups shredded potatoes (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet, and sauté until the vegetables are soft.
Stir in the kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the shredded potatoes, then the beef and vegetable mixture. Repeat with another layer of potatoes.
Top with shredded cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
