Preheat oven to 350. In an ungreased 9x13 baking dish, blend dry potato flakes with sour cream and 1/2 C water (mixture will be crumbly). Pat firmly onto bottom of baking dish. In large skillet, brown ground beef. Stir in 1/2 C water and remaining ingredients except cheese. Spoon beef mixture over potato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Bake 350 for 25 mins .. ENJOY
 
Ok. This recipe is neither low calorie or low fat but it is soooooooooo worth it.


3 cans Shoepeg corn or really sweet white corn (Shoepeg preferably)
1 8oz box of cream cheese (Light is fine if you really want to use it)
1/2 cup butter
As much green chile as you want

Melt butter and cream cheese in a large pot on medium high heat. When it is fairly smooth (no big chunks of cream cheese or butter), add in the corn and green chile. Stir frequently to make sure the corn is completely coated this will also ensure that the mixture doesn't burn. When the mixture is heated through, serve in bowls and enjoy!

This dish goes perfectly with chicken, pork, and beef.
