One Pot Mexican Rice Casserole
This recipe for One Pot Mexican Rice Casserole with ground beef is incredibly tasty, quick, and simple! This delicious dish with lots of taco flavour with beef, rice and corn will be a hit with the whole family!
This casserole has the exact same flavour as everyone’s preferred Mexican rice from a restaurant. All of that can be transformed into a substantial, all-you-you-eat supper in just 30 minutes! We all agree on this rice casserole, which is why it has always been a mainstay in my home. In the past, I would assemble it and bake it in the oven. That is, until I realised I could just turn this into a one-pan, stovetop meal. For incredible flavour, the rice simmers in the pan with the cooked ground beef, onion, corn, salsa, tomato sauce, and seasonings! When the rice is soft, toss in your preferred cheese and, if desired, garnish with green onions. Additionally, we truly enjoy this with an extra side of salsa
