*I used Goya Adobo (see picture at bottom)

(1.) Add 1 tbs canola oil to large non-stick skillet and heat to medium. Add onion, poblano with 1 tsp salt and pepper and saute until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add beef and cook until browned. Once browned, add 1/4 cup beef broth along with tomato and simmer until juices are reduced (about 10-15 minutes). (2.) Stir in corn and heat for one minute. (3.) Remove from heat and place in 9x9x3 baking dish. Add 2 tbs canola oil with remaining pepper to skillet and place over medium heat. (4.) Par cook hash browns until almost done (see picture). (5.) Place hash browns over beef in baking dish and place in 375˚F oven for 30 minutes. (6.) Remove from oven, cover top with cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve!

¡Impresionante!

  2. I made this but never got "overlefts" because my pup,
    Emma Sue, helped herself to it ;) it was very delicious so I made it again but used turkey instead of beef (didn't want to make an extra trip to the grocery) either way was delish!!
