Fiesta Beef Casserole

(from The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook)

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds Princess Beef hamburger
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
12 ounces chunky salsa
1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
3/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar or jack cheese
1 head lettuce, coarsely chopped
3 tomatoes, seeded, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a large, heated skillet with olive oil. Add the ground beef, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder; cook until the meat browns.

Remove beef to a large bowl, and add the salsa, corn and mayonnaise or sour cream. Spread one-half of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 2-quart casserole. Top with one cup of the tortilla chips, followed by one cup of the cheese. Repeat the layers. Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve on a bed of chopped lettuce, and top with tomatoes.
