Ingredients

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
• 8 scallions, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 TBSP chili powder
• 1 TBSP ground cumin
• 1 TBSP garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 large baking potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced
• 3/4 cup nonfat cheddar cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Spray a 13X9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the beef, bell peppers and scallions; cook, stirring as needed, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened, 6-8 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper and salt; cook, stirring as needed, until the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes.
4. Arrange alternate layers of the potatoes and beef mixture in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes; uncover and sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Bake until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes longer.
