Tips:
- Use a medium-grain rice for this recipe, such as jasmine or basmati. These types of rice hold their shape well and won't become mushy when baked.
- Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground sausage. You could also add some chopped bacon or chorizo.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or corn.
- If you don't have any taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Top the casserole with a generous amount of shredded cheese before baking. This will create a golden brown crust and help hold the casserole together.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite Mexican toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and Pico de Gallo.
Conclusion:
