Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Mix in the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, and frozen corn. Pour the beef mixture into the bowl and mix until everything is evenly combined.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread the beef and rice mixture evenly in the dish.
Top the casserole with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
