EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use salsa in place of the picante sauce in this recipe.

There's no need to peel garlic cloves when you use a garlic press. Simply pop the clove, skin and all, into the press, then squeeze. The garlic flesh will be forced through the mesh, while the skin stays in the press.

Frozen potato nuggets also come in onion flavor and in mini-size nuggets. Try one of these to complement this casserole.

My whole family enjoyed it. I have a large family (4 kids & hubby), so I doubled the ground beef, corn, & salsa and added an extra can of soup. They ate the whole pan so, success!

I cooked this for my family, who include a meat & potatoes husband, picky 4-year old, and 1-year old. Needless to say, they all loved it! I did not include as much salsa as it called for so my kids woudn't think it was spicy. It ended up being perfect!
