Which actually, as strange as it sounds, I thought was a very valid question because I can imagine how irritating it would be to watch that stuffed peppers video and drool when the juicy beef rice filling comes oozing out, knowing full well you have no peppers in your fridge.
Essentially, it starts by browning the beef with onion and garlic, then you add a ton of Mexican spices, rice and liquids then you give it a big stir and let it simmer away on the stove until the rice is tender.
easy ground beef casserole with rice
To give it a good slug of extra flavour, I like to stir in cheese as well as green onion for freshness (I also like doing this because I get a kick out of watching the cheese melt into the rice ?), top with a bit more cheese, clamp the lid on and leave it for a minute to let the residual heat to melt the cheese.
And this Mexican Rice Casserole is the latest addition to my ground beef recipe collection. Other than Bolognese (which is, without a doubt, the recipe I make most often!), a few of my other favourites include:
When I need to get dinner on the table fast, I normally turn to ground beef recipes. They cook up fast and ground beef is so versatile. Plus, even my picky eaters like ground beef dinners. This cheesy ground beef and rice casserole is favorite among the entire family!
One of the best things about a slow cooker is that you can put all of the ingredients for a meal in it, turn it on, and then go about your day. For this beef and rice casserole, simply brown the beef, then add it to the slow cooker with the rice, vegetables, and seasonings. Let it cook on low all day, and then enjoy a delicious and hearty meal at the end of the day. Add the cheese at the end.
If you are using the stove top cooking method, you will need to cook the rice before adding it to the casserole. However, if you are using the crock pot or Instant Pot, you will not need to cook the rice.
The answer is yes, you can use Minute Rice for Beef and Rice Casserole. Minute Rice is fully cooked, so it will cook faster than regular rice. Just be sure to follow the package directions for how much water to add, and the time it takes to cook. You may need to add a little more water than called for since Beef and Rice Casserole has a lot of other ingredients that will absorb some of the water. Other than that, just continue to make the casserole as directed.
In a large skillet (I like to use my cast iron here or a nice heavy non-stick pan), add the ground beef and garlic salt to season. Cook and crumble the ground beef until browned and cooked through, and be sure to drain off the fat.
Pair this savory casserole dish with a fresh green veggie, corn on the cob, or salad. A dinner roll or cornbread goes perfectly as well. That is what is excellent about comfort dishes; they don't need much else to make an unforgettable meal.
Hi love this but we switched the rice with instant rice and this gets rid of the crunchy rice or having to add more water and such. Love the ease and cost. Also didnt use taco seasoning just the spices and salted the end. We avoid the salt due to health reasons. Thanks again.
I used Mexican chorizo that I took out of the casing, browned, crumbled and drained. Because the chorizo was highly seasoned I did not add any additional seasoning except for salt & pepper. Included a jalapeño seeded and diced along with the onion and garlic. I used a 14.5 oz. can of stewed tomatoes, undrained plus and equal amount of chicken broth. I used brown rice that I rinsed and soaked covered with water for a couple of hours, then drained, as this hastens the cooking time. I did add the black beans, but eliminated the corn and cheese.Tip: Taco seasoning has a thickener in the mix that would absorb some of the liquid and that could possibly be the cause of underdone rice. I would recommend using chili powder, cumin and ground coriander instead.
I too used Chorizo and mixed it with ground beef. I did not have canned diced tomatoes, but had two tomatoes that I diced myself. I put in a small can of green chilis, black beans, corn, onion. I used Rice-a-Roni Spanish Rice. 2 cups of the broth. It is a fabulous dish!
I really enjoyed this recipe, nice and easy and very good. The 1st time I made this, I had to add more liquid to get the rice to fully cook. The 2nd time I used canned corn and tomatos and did not drain them. I also doubled up the broth to 2 cups. Everything cooked up nice in about 20 minutes.
This is great! Very tasty. Easy to make. Used packaged grated cheddar jack cheese which helped with time crunch. Added 1 cup water necessary to cook rice. Will serve with cornbread next time. And maybe have sliced black olives on the side to sprinkle on top.
OMG. I was looking at this recipe when I saw your video with the red skin potatoes, cheese, bacon, and ranch seasoning. Now I have to buy some potatoes. It looks wonderful. I plan on making this casserole for dinner. I love the one pot idea.
I made this tonight and we loved it. I hate to cook and this was so easy and quick. I serve 5 so I used 3 cups rice and adapted the rest. I also cooked it in a casserole dish in the oven. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe. I referenced you in my blog, address below.
Gonna try this tonight, having my grandparents over for supper. Made your pizza pasta pot last night & obviously loved it!!Quick question- can I use chicken broth instead of veggie? And finally, what do you think about substituting seasoned beef for fajitas instead of ground beef for this?
Yummy my husband and I tried for the first time tonight excellent did with the white rice liked the flavors of the lime and cilantro would be good In a burrito with sour ram avacado or pico. We love to try new recipes keep them coming.
Just recently discovered your blog and loved the few recipes I have tried. This taco casserole is just screaming our name so I plan to make it tonight. Would it be possible to cook the beef & onions, throw everything but the cheese in a casserole dish and bake in a 350 oven for about 45 min.?
We are a family of seven so I doubled the beef, rice, & vegetable broth. I added a green bell pepper and used an entire can of corn. Because I was out of taco seasoning, I used the one you linked in the comments. This turned out great and everyone loved it. With the extra meat, it made enough for us to have a few lunch leftovers the next day. It reminded my husband and I of a burrito bowl from Chipotle. Will definitely be making a regular appearance on our menu!
The whole family enjoyed this dish! The only modification I made was to use beef broth instead of vegetable broth. I also used bagged pre-shredded cheese and what I had on hand was a 3-cheddar blend which was fine. I think just about any cheese would work (pepper jack would be good!). We ate it topped with pico de gallo (instead of chopping up a tomato), diced avocado and a little sour cream. I think this is going to become a staple!
Making in the crock pot right now, cooking on low. I brown my beef, and my onions garlic, seasonings ,and pray that it will turn out. Yes I did add the rice,broth,corn and tomatoes too. I plan on adding my cheese and more tomatoe 1 hour before severing.Thanks
This recipe was delicious! My husband and I loved it. I did use 2 cups of broth (I used chicken broth), because the rice I used called for 2 cups of liquid for 1 cup of rice. I also added some extra southwestern-style seasonings (because I always use extra seasoning). It came out perfect. Very easy and very tasty!
I made this tonight. Easy and delicious. The rice took a few extra minutes to cook (used basmati), but it worked and not mushy at all. I finished it under the broiler to melt the cheese. Served with shredded lettuce, homemade salsa, and guacamole. Thank you for the great recipe.
Ground beef, onions, and Worcestershire sauce give this savory pie the same flavors as your classic burger recipe. It's also topped with a layer of cheese and served up with pickles and ketchup for dipping.
For this family dinner, each stuffed cabbage roll is lined up in a casserole pan and topped with a sweet and sour tomato sauce. Once it's baked, simply serve with mashed potatoes for the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
This Instant Pot Mexican Ground Beef Casserole is easily one of my favorite Mexican ground beef recipes, and for good reason. It's a casserole recipe that's bursting with Mexican flavors but doesn't take a whole lot of effort on my part.
Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice Casserole is packed with fresh spinach, beef, and cheese, then combined with cauliflower rice and baked. A low carb and Keto meal the whole family will love.
There are so many reasons to love this hamburger rice casserole! First, it is a one-pan meal, which means less mess and fewer dishes to wash. Second, it is packed with flavor. The ground beef is cooked in a simple tomato sauce and then mixed with cheesy rice and topped with melted cheese. Yum!
It is similar to my Mexican Rice recipe I published recently but with ground beef, black beans, corn, and other ingredients, it is an entire meal instead of a side dish. Like my Chile Relleno Casserole, and this is one of my favorite Mexican dishes.
For the rice, I used long grain white rice, and that is the rice I recommend to use in this Beef and Rice Casserole, or any casserole because it will cook perfectly with the other ingredients without becoming sticky or mushy.
With savory ground beef, flavored with a BBQ sauce mixture and then simmered with tender rice and topped with cheese and crispy bacon, this casserole has all the right flavors to get plates clean and bellies full!
How many times have you wished for a quick and easy hamburger and rice recipe for dinner? Seeing as how those are two ingredients most of us have on hand, it only make since to have a few super easy ground beef recipes to turn to on those busy nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner. This is one of my favorites, along with these Mongolian Noodles and 20 Minute Stroganoff! 2ff7e9595c
