  • 1 cup canned corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
