  2. To prepare casserole: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large ovenproof frying pan, heat olive oil and add ground beef, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are soft. Turn off heat and add corn, beans, enchilada sauce, salsa, chili powder, salt and pepper. Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and cook another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with garnishes. Serve with warm tortillas or corn chips.
