Chuckwagon Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and cook until browned; drain excess fat if needed. To the beef, add the beans, corn, tomato soup, milk, cheese, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce and Cajun seasoning. Stir over medium heat until well blended. Taste; add salt and pepper, as needed.

Step 4

Transfer to a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until hot.

Step 5

Meanwhile, melt the butter and set aside to cool. Remove the casserole from the oven, dip the biscuits in the butter and scatter on the top of the casserole dish. Sprinkle the tops of all of the biscuits with cornmeal. Return to the oven and bake uncovered, at 375 degrees F, for an additional 20 to 25 minutes OR until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown. Check bottoms of center biscuits and return to oven if not cooked through.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a green vegetable or a side salad.
