Notes
1
Preheat the oven and heat to 350℉.
2
If using a dutch oven or oven proof skillet, skip this step. Otherwise, spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil; set aside.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, high sided dutch oven or oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
5
Stir in the beans and corn, if using. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for 2-5 minutes.
6
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salsa and ¾ cup of the cheese. If using a separate dish, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Regardless, sprinkle with the remaining 1 ¼ cup cheese.
7
Place in oven on middle rack and bake until the cheese is melted and casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Top with lettuce and tomato, and serve with guacamole, avocado, jalapeños, Greek yogurt or sour cream.
