1 1/2 cups white rice, prepared per instructions
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 lb lean ground beef (I used 96/4)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano

3 -4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (divided)
1 -2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 -4 tomatoes, sliced thickly
sour cream (topping)
salsa (topping)
guacamole (topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare rice per instructions. While the rice is cooking heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the ground beef, making sure to break it up into crumbles. Cook the beef for 3-4 minutes then add the diced onion and all of the seasonings. Stir until well combined and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the onion is tender. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly for an additional 60 seconds. Add the cooked rice, drained and rinsed black beans, tomato sauce and a bit of cilantro (reserving some for garnishing) to the beef and onion mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, taste and re-season if needed.
  • Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray and pour the rice mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Place the tomato slices on top of the rice mixture then top with cheddar cheese.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef. Look for beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good options include diced tomatoes, chopped onions, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to create a flavorful dish.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust and gooey, melted cheese in the middle.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
