Taco Casserole
Yield: 9 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 10 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 oz can fat-free refried beans
- 8 oz can tomatoes and chiles
- 2 c Mexican blend cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray, set it over medium heat and allow it to get hot. Saute veggies with garlic until they are softened. Drain any excess liquid and transfer to a bowl.
3. Brown ground meat, drain and then transfer to the same bowl and mix with canned beans and tomatoes and chiles.
4. Mix in taco seasoning thoroughly and then transfer mixture to a 13x9 casserole dish.
5. Evenly spread out fat free refried beans on top (this may be easier if you heat them in a microwave safe bowl for a minute or so).
6. Top with cheese and then bake in a 350 oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is oozy, melty and slightly browned.
7. Cool 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
