Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 3 medium yellow squash, sliced

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste

  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet, mixing in taco seasoning as directed on the package, until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set beef aside on a plate.

  3. Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Mix in squash, onion, and garlic; saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add beef and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to an oven-proof casserole dish. Top with Mexican cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can use ground turkey instead of beef, regular diced tomatoes instead of Rotel, and shredded Cheddar cheese instead of a Mexican blend.
