Cheeseburger Casserole

Serves 6

cooking spray
2 large uncooked Yukon Gold potatoes, boiled, drained and cooled
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 pound uncooked ground turkey breast
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 cup reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup low-fat evaporated milk
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
8 baked low-fat tortilla chips, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350*. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. (No way all this was fitting into a 9-inch dish. I used a bigger one...maybe 11x13?)

2. Thinly slice potatoes; layer in prepared baking dish. Bake potatoes until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes; remove baking dish from oven and set aside.

3. While potatoes are baking, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat; add garlic, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; remove to a plate, cover to keep warm and set aside. Add turkey to skillet; cook until browned, breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cooked vegetables, cumin, salt and pepper to turkey and stir to combine; spread mixture over
potatoes in baking dish.

4. In a small microwave safe bowl, combine cheese, evaporated milk and crushed red pepper flakes; cover and microwave on high power until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon melted cheese over turkey and sprinkle with tortilla chips. Bake for 35 minutes; remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces.

Results: This was great! Me, Chris & Henry all gobbled this down (and I went back for seconds!) Steven wouldn't even pretend that he noticed it sitting in front of him. I wouldn't change anything. Well, that's not true...I changed the cheese. The original recipe called for using Velveeta cheese, and I substituted regular cheese for that. I will say that it could use a bit more cheese, but we all (minus Voldemort) really liked it.
