I’m back again with a Mexican dish. This Mexican beef and rice casserole is our latest family favorite! It’s a 2 dish meal.
You need a skillet and a 9 x 13 dish for this one. First, you brown 1 pound of beef in the skillet. Then you mix in the remaining ingredients with the exception of 1 cup of shredded cheese. With those ingredients is uncooked rice. Yep that’s rice, no need to precook the rice!
Then it all gets place in the 9 x 13 inch dish, covered and baked for 50 minutes. Then top with the remaining shredded cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
This dish is great as is or we have also used it as a filling for burritos. My family actually likes it best as a burrito filling. Top with a little sour cream and cilantro if you’d like and your done. It’s so tasty!
