Ingredients

1
pound extra-lean ground beef (90% or better)*
1
cup onion (chopped)
1
can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
2
teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2
teaspoons salt
1 ½
cups corn kernels or 1 can (15 ounces) (drained)
16
ounces diced frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed, or about 3 to 4 cups mashed potato or cooked diced potato
¼
cup flour
1
green bell pepper (chopped)
4
tablespoons butter (melted)
2
cups sharp or mild Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine beef, onion, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine corn kernels, potatoes, flour, melted butter, and chopped green bell pepper.
Step 4
Pat beef mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan; top with corn and potato mixture.
Step 5
Bake uncovered in center of oven for 45 minutes; sprinkle with cheese and bake casserole 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until browned and potatoes are tender. If you like the cheese to form a bubbly, brown crust, broil casserole on high for an additional 2 minutes. *If the ground beef is not extra lean, you might want to brown it first. Brown the beef with the onion in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain well and then mix it with the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Proceed with the recipe.
