Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry brown rice
1 can black beans
3/4 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups grated cheese(I use marble)
1/4 cup diced green pepper
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the beef by browning it and breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • While the beef is cooking, prepare your rice using the package instructions or my method linked in the post.
  • Once the beef is completely cooked and no pink remains, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain most of the fat from the pan and return it to the heat. Add the diced onions to the pan and cook them, stirring frequently until they soften, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir for 60 seconds more. Add the cooked beef back into the pan and stir.
  • Pour the crushed tomatoes and salsa into the beef mixture and stir well. Next, add in the can of beans and cooked brown rice. Stir well again to combine.
  • Turn the oven on to 350 and spray a 9x9 oven-safe casserole dish. Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
  • Top the beef mixture with the shredded cheese and sprinkle the diced green pepper over the cheese.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
  • Serve warm with sides of avocado, guacamole, and/or sour cream.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

TEX-MEX CASSEROLE



Tex-Mex Casserole image

Provided by Kim D.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) can ranch style beans
1 (12 ounce) can hot enchilada sauce
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef with onions and garlic in a large skillet; drain.
  • Line a 9X13X2-inch baking dish with 4 torn flour tortillas.
  • Place ground beef mixture over tortillas.
  • Layer with beans, enchilada sauce, and cream of chicken soup over ground beef.
  • Next, top with shredded cheese, 4 more torn flour tortillas, tomatoes and green chilies.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
  • Uncover and top with a little extra cheese if desired; return to oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef to ensure a flavorful and juicy casserole. You can use a combination of ground beef and ground pork or turkey for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Cook the beef until it's just browned to retain its moisture and tenderness. Overcooking can result in dry and tough meat.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Tex-Mex cuisine is known for its bold flavors. Experiment with different chili powders, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a well-rounded flavor profile.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is a crucial component that adds richness and creaminess to the casserole. Use a combination of Mexican cheese blend, cheddar cheese, and pepper Jack cheese for the ultimate cheesy experience.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, incorporate diced jalapeños, chili peppers, or cayenne pepper into the casserole. Adjust the quantity based on your desired level of heat.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices impart a vibrant flavor to the casserole. If you don't have fresh ingredients on hand, opt for frozen or canned alternatives.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: The beauty of Tex-Mex cuisine lies in its versatility. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients or customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences.
