Familiar and delicious flavors lace this simple to prepare and a joy to eat beef casserole filled with simple pantry ingredients and wonderful spices like cumin and chili powder. My 6 year old Bronwyn enjoyed the dish enough to request seconds as her after school snack the next day. This dish of course can be enjoyed anytime and can be prepped ahead , just leave off the corn bread crust until ready to bake.
