Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup cheese (either queso fresco or mozzarella), grated
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup peas (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until transparent.
  3. 3Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. 4Stir in the cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  5. 5Add the black olives, hard-boiled eggs, and bell pepper. Mix to combine and cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat.
  6. 6In a separate pot, combine the corn kernels, milk, butter, sugar, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Mash lightly with a fork for a creamy texture, but don't over-mash it.
  7. 7Once the corn mixture is ready, layer half of it on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Spread the beef mixture over the corn layer.
  8. 8Top the beef with the remaining corn mixture and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top.
  9. 9Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  10. 10Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
