Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C), so it’s nice and toasty for the casserole. In a large skillet over medium heat, I brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with my spatula as it cooks. Once it’s nice and fully cooked, I drain any excess fat. Then, I stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. It’s at this point that my kitchen fills with that wonderful, familiar taco aroma!
