- If you don't have any kasha on hand, you can substitute another type of grain, such as quinoa, rice, or barley. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to this dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
- If you like your food spicy, you can add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the recipe. You can also top the finished dish with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
- This dish is even better the next day, so be sure to make extra!
Conclusion:
Beef and Kasha Mexicana is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. So next time you have some leftover roast beef or stew meat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
