Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1.5 cups enchilada sauce
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and enchilada sauce. Mix well to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir until everything is evenly combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side, if desired.
