Ingredients | Ground Beef Breakfast Casserole Recipes

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 ½ cups water

¼ cup salted butter

1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix (such as Kraft® Stove Top®)

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or more to taste

1 (8.75 ounce) can sweet corn, drained

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

While the beef is cooking, make stuffing. Bring water and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in stuffing mix; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Stir diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce into the beef mixture. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add corn and Cheddar cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted completely, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a casserole dish. Spread cornbread stuffing evenly over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

You can use shredded Mexican-style cheese instead of Cheddar.

For a healthier option, use ground turkey and low-fat cheese.

The directions for making the stuffing are based on the particular brand mentioned. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand.
