Mexican Food Casseroles
This Mexican casserole is basically a layered fiesta of flavors. We're talking seasoned ground beef, fluffy rice, hearty beans, sweet corn, and a vibrant blend of Mexican spices, all smothered in melty cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning about 2 tablespoons
- One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
- One 4-ounce can green chilies diced
- One 15-ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
- One 15-ounce can corn drained
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and onion is softened (7-10 minutes). Drain excess grease.
- Stir in minced garlic and taco seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes (undrained), green chilies, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine.
- Spread half of the cooked rice in the baking dish. Top with half of the beef mixture, then half of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat layers: remaining rice, remaining beef mixture, and remaining cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
