Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 packets Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 6 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the seasoning is well absorbed and the mixture thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white rice, seasoned ground beef mixture, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen corn, and black beans.
Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly if freezing for later use. Divide into freezer-safe meal prep containers or freezer bags in serving-size portions. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
To serve fresh: transfer the mixture to a large casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
