¼ cup olive oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
¼ (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers, or to taste
2 ½ cups uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 ½ teaspoons Southwest seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 pound ground pork
½ pound ground beef, or more to taste
½ (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning, or to taste
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 bunch green onions, chopped
½ small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch over over medium-high heat. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green chiles and jalapenos; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice; cook until coated in oil, about 3 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes, Southwest seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil. Add lime juice and stir well. Cover with lid.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake while you prepare the meat, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and beef; saute until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in taco seasoning, chili powder, and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Add black beans and stir.
  • Remove rice from the oven and mix in the meat mixture; sprinkle a few tablespoons of water on top. Continue baking until rice is tender yet firm to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes. Mix in green onions and cilantro; top casserole with Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheeses melt, about 5 minutes more.

This casserole was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I won't be making this again.

This is the best Mexican rice casserole I've ever had! I've tried several different recipes, but this one is by far the best. The flavors are incredible and the cheese topping is to die for.

The rice was a little mushy, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and pork, and it was still delicious. I also added some black beans and corn for extra flavor and texture.
