Mucho Gusto Mexican Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter in 10 inch skillet. Add rice, stir often until golden brown and fragrant. Add seasoning from rice, green chiles, onion and tomatoes. Substitute broth/stock for water that rice calls for. Bring to boil stirring often. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook according to directions on box until tender.
• Meanwhile brown ground beef and drain. Add onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, and black beans. Add meat to the rice mixture stirring gently so beans hold their shape.
• Spray 13x9x2 pan with Pam. Add 1/2 of rice mixture. Sprinkle half of shredded cheese over casserole. Add remaining rice mixture. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese and olives on top.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve with hot flour tortillas, and salsa if desired.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a small container.
• Brown one pound of ground beef or turkey and drain fat away. (I prefer ground turkey. There is no fat to drain away and it crumbles into tiny pieces very easily.).
• Throw in seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of water and mix well with your ground meat.
• Simmer until thick --
• Note: combine your taco meat with about half of a can of refried beans for a delicious burrito or chimichanga filling.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Stir in salsa, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in beans, and heat through.
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread crushed tortilla chips in dish, and then spoon beef mixture over chips. Spread sour cream over beef, and sprinkle olives, green onion, and tomato over the sour cream. Top with Cheddar cheese.
