Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 3 tbsp onion soup mix
  • 1 cup salsa medium or spicy
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 4 oz chiles 1 small can, diced
  • 1.5 cups rice + water to cook it before adding into meat mixture
  • 2 cup cheese optional
  • 1 cup sour cream to make creamy, optional

Instructions

  • Cook 1.5 cups rice + 3 cups water in rice cooker, stove or Instant Pot white rice to make it tender so it is ready to be incorporated with the cooked meat.
  • In a large pan (or pot) on the stovetop add olive oil, diced onion and ground beef. Cook until there is just a little bit of pink left on meat.
  • Add all other ingredients EXCEPT the cheese and sour cream. Cook for about 2 minutes and stir together.
  • Then fold in 1 cup of your cheese (and sour cream if you want it creamy). Spray 9x13" casserole dish with non stick spray and dump casserole mix inside. Smooth so it is even in pan. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Put into preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10 - 15 min. just so cheese melts and middle is warmed. Serve!
