Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 packets Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 6 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0 Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Step 2
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the seasoning is well absorbed and the mixture thickens.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white rice, seasoned ground beef mixture, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen corn, and black beans.
Step 4
Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly if freezing for later use. Divide into freezer-safe meal prep containers or freezer bags in serving-size portions. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
Step 6
To serve fresh: transfer the mixture to a large casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
