At its heart, the casserole is built on a buttery biscuit crust that holds a savory beef mixture, zesty tomatoes, and green chilies. The real magic comes in with the creamy topping made of sour cream, mayonnaise, and plenty of shredded cheddar cheese. Once baked, the result is a golden, bubbly masterpiece that feeds a crowd and leaves no leftovers behind.
I first discovered this dish at a potluck, where it vanished before I could even grab seconds. Since then, it has earned a permanent place in my kitchen, not only because it’s budget-friendly and easy to make, but also because it has that wow factor when you set it on the table. Whether you’re hosting Sunday dinner, a holiday gathering, or just craving something hearty after a long day, John Wayne Casserole is sure to deliver.
And if you’re into comfort food, you’ll also love our Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings Recipe or the cozy Basic Vegetable Soup—both perfect pairings for this Western-inspired meal.
