Description:

Indulge in the rich flavors of this hearty Carolina Casserole, a wholesome dish that brings together ground beef, corn, onions, and a medley of spices. Perfect for potlucks, weeknight dinners, or any occasion when you crave comfort food with a touch of Southern charm.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 can of corn niblets
1 onion, chopped
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Brown Beef and Onions: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to break up the meat and ensure even cooking.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the beef and onions are cooked, add the canned corn niblets (make sure to drain them first), tomato puree, tomato sauce, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the casserole to simmer gently for 35 to 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Season to Taste: After simmering, taste the casserole and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, or more chili powder according to your preferences.
Serve: Once the casserole is cooked to perfection and seasoned to your liking, it’s ready to be served! Spoon generous portions onto plates or into bowls, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Carolina Casserole.
