Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked rice and remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the sour cream and 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend. Add the beef and rice mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 7

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite sides, and enjoy your Tex Mex Fiesta Bake!
