I have to say that I absolutely love it when I come up with recipes that can be made all in one pan. This Mexican Rice Casserole is one of the best tasting casseroles that have been made in a long time.
This is a great meal to make when you are running short on time. This casserole can be finished in about 30 minutes.
To say that the dish is flavorful, savory and delicious would be an understatement. There are multiple flavors within this casserole with the rice, corn and beef.
Flavored with the classic Mexican Spice this is what is needed to fill your family and their tummies. Another special point to this casserole is that it could be used as a side dish or the main dish. No matter which one, it will be a favorite.
What makes this recipe so special?
The fact that it can all be made in one pot, it has great flavor, is easy to make and everyone is going to love it, what makes this special is that it will only take about half an hour to have it done.
What does TAPAS mean?
Tapas is a serving style of food which is believed to have originated in Spain. This dish works great with Tapas serving. If you have the time to make a variety, this is the main one to make as the Mexican dish.
Can I make this in advance?
This dish is one of those that are all made in one pan and the rice cooks with the rest. I would say that you could cook the ground beef and mix all the items together, but not boil, then simmer. It would be easier to make the dish completely and then wheat it when you are ready.
How can I make this healthier?
You could use Chicken instead of Ground beef, you could use brown rice instead of white rice. There may be a slightly different flavor, however, it will be just as tasty.
