Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 15 ounces Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 cup Tortilla chips (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and tomato sauce. Mix well and heat for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer the beef mixture into your crock pot.
Add the black beans, cooked white rice, frozen corn, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the crock pot. Mix everything together to combine evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole and cover again to let the cheese melt.
Once cooked, serve the casserole warm with optional toppings like crushed tortilla chips and chopped cilantro for extra flavor and crunch.
