Notes
- Add a can of black beans, stretch out the meal, or make sure there are more leftovers.
- Add a can of sweet corn and/or a can of green chiles - make it your own recipe!
- Use red potatoes (don't peel!)
- Instead of Italian Seasoning, use my DIY recipe for Tuscan Seasoning
- Use Cream of Mushroom soup for a different kind of flavor.
- A little chili powder goes VERY well in this dish, with beans and beef it's a no brainer, right?
- For a little extra flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
- You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef if you want a leaner option.
- Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly so they cook consistently.
