  • Heat ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir, breaking up into crumbles, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes. Mix in diced tomatoes and green chiles, tomato sauce, rice, water, and taco seasoning; stir to combine. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and cover with foil.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Continue baking until cheese is golden and lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.

I made it nearly exactly as suggested and it was terrific. I did use the hot version of Rotel, which gave it just the right amount of spice. This one is definitely a keeper! Read More

I won't make this again. The rice was still crunchy after the required amount of baking time. Too much liquid made it soupy. The leftovers we used as a filler for burritos, but I still didn't like it. Read More

I made this today. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef. It was a hit. I'll definitely make this recipe in the near future. Read More
