Mexican Beef And Rice Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 1/2 onion , chopped
• 1 green bell pepper , chopped
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 3 Tablespoons taco seasoning (either 1 store-bought packet or homemade)
• 1-1/2 cups red salsa
• 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup corn , drained
• 1 (16-ounce) can black beans , drained
• 1 (4-ounce) can green chilies
• 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 cups shredded Mexican Blend Cheese (Cheddar, Monterrey Jack)

Instructions

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the chopped onion, and bell pepper in oil for about 5 minutes or until the onion and bell pepper are softened. 
• Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the ground beef and cook for another 5 minutes. After the ground beef is cooked, drain the extra grease.
• Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked ground beef and stir until the ground beef is covered with the taco seasoning.
• After the ground beef is seasoned and cooked, add the drained corn, black beans, salsa, and green chilies and stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
• Add the uncooked rice and beef broth.
• Cover and bring the rice mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 18 minutes. 
• Sprinkle shredded Mexican Cheese over the casserole. Cover for about 3 to 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. 
• Garnish with chopped tomatoes, green onions, or cilantro. Serve hot!
