Delicious taco rice casserole combines all your favorite taco flavors in a simple, pantry-friendly meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
  • 0.25 cup sliced black olives
  • 1.5 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for a perfectly baked dish.
  • In a sizzling skillet, brown the ground beef, celery, and onion until beef is crumbly and vegetables are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove any excess grease before proceeding.
  • Mix together the tomatoes, water, rice, salsa, chilies, olives, bouillon granules, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper with the beef. Bring to a boil, then transfer everything to a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Bake the dish covered in the oven until the rice is tender, about 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
