Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium red pepper diced
1 medium green pepper diced
1 small onion diced
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese
½ cup milk
1½ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded, divided
1 packet taco seasoning
5 cups frozen potatoes diced
14.5 ounces corn canned, drained
4 ounces green chilies canned, diced
1 cup tortilla strips
cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Saute ground beef, peppers and onion over medium heat in a skillet, until ground beef is no longer pink. Drain and add to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt cream cheese with milk and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Save the remaining cheese for topping the casserole. Add taco seasoning. Cook until all is melted and combined thoroughly. Add to beef, onion and pepper mixture.
To the beef mixture, add the potatoes, corn and chiles and mix well.
Pour mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes until heated thoroughly.
After removing from oven, top with tortilla strips.
Serve with cilantro and lime slices.
