HEARTY SPANISH RICE BAKE



Hearty Spanish Rice Bake image

Ground beef, fresh onion, green bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, and rice are simmered in a sweet-hot sauce then baked with Cheddar cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro. Spice it up with Ro-Tel® instead of regular canned tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeno peppers. I have also added extra Cheddar cheese and you can substitute a Mexican blend or any other cheese if you like. Warning: this will spice up your life if you use the optional ingredients.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • For a flavorful dish, use high-quality, flavorful beef. You may wish to try skirt steak, flank steak or even ground beef.
  • If you don't have sofrito on hand, you can make your own by sautéing chopped green bell pepper, onion, and garlic in olive oil until softened.
  • If you don't have Spanish rice, you can use regular long-grain white rice. Just be sure to cook it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef. If the pan is too crowded, the beef will steam instead of brown.
  • Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help it to absorb all of the delicious flavors.

Conclusion:

Baked Spanish rice and beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With its bold flavors and simple ingredients, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
