The Farmhouse Beef Casserole is a simple and comforting dish that is perfect for chilly evenings or when you need something filling and easy to make. The combination of ground sirloin, shredded cabbage, and tomatoes is reminiscent of classic American beef and cabbage dishes. The addition of chili powder, taco sauce, and pickled jalapenos gives the casserole a hint of Tex-Mex flavor and a bit of kick. This casserole is great for feeding a crowd, as it can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving. Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2.Thinly slice the potato and layer it on the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the potato.
3.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sirloin, onion, and garlic until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.
4.Add the chopped tomatoes, chili powder, shredded cabbage, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5.Pour the beef mixture over the cheese layer in the baking dish. Spread the taco sauce over the top of the beef mixture.
6.Add the pickled jalapeno slices on top, if using. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7.Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
