Tex-Mex Beef and Potatoes

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 c water
4 c frozen southern style hash browns
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen corn
cheddar cheese (Rice Shreds) - a couple of handfuls, depending on how cheesy you want it :)

Heat oven to 350. Brown meat with onions; drain. Stir in taco mix and water. Add potatoes, corn, and cheese. Mix well. Spoon into 13x9 baking dish and cover. Bake 20 minutes and stir. Bake uncovered 15 minutes or until heated through.

Tip: When I make this, I mix everything BUT the cheese in a large bowl. I then pour half into an 8x6 baking dish and stir in rice cheese for Shawn, and repeat in another dish with regular cheese for me. If you want to jazz it up a bit more, a can of chiles or even some salsa would add more kick.

  1. A really good addition to mexican style dishes is Tofutti's non-dairy sour cream. I get mine in Jewel food stores.

  2. I have to do dairy free cooking also and I found powdered soy milk at a health food store which I use very successfully in recipes that are not sweet. It comes in a can that lasts a long time (for us, at least), keeps on a shelf and is easy to measure out and use. We use vanilla soy milk for drinking which is good of course, in sweet recipes. I make pizza with soy-based mozzerella, something I NEVER thought I could get used to eating. But I actually like it now. I don't have the energy or desire to make two different dishes and just learn to like different ingredients. But then, he has to tolerate my no-sugar diet and we both cut out all beef and most meats for cholesterol health. Can you tell we're gettin' old???!!!
