HEARTY SPANISH RICE BAKE



Hearty Spanish Rice Bake image

Ground beef, fresh onion, green bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, and rice are simmered in a sweet-hot sauce then baked with Cheddar cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro. Spice it up with Ro-Tel® instead of regular canned tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeno peppers. I have also added extra Cheddar cheese and you can substitute a Mexican blend or any other cheese if you like. Warning: this will spice up your life if you use the optional ingredients.

2 cups uncle ben's converted white rice
2 medium onions, coarsley chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, coarsley chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
3 -4 tablespoons butter

Tips:

  • For a crispy and flavorful rice dish, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and will not brown properly.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the rice, use a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
  • If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the rice, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or corn.
  • For a cheesy rice dish, add a cup of shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese to the rice before baking.

Conclusion:

Baked Spanish rice and beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and beef. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
