Mexican Ground Beef Casserole with Rice (Beef mince!)

This was so easy and everyone liked it....planning on making it again tonight

Needed a quick recipe to use ground beef. This was pretty easy to make, it came together quickly, and was tasty & filling, what more can you ask for. I’ll be keeping this recipe in my back pocket.

Was just okay, tasted like a chilli mixed with the rice before serving. Needed extra spice for sure. Not aure if we will bother with it again. It's just meh

Tasty and simple

This recipe is amazing! This is my go to meal and there is enough left over to freeze for a second time to eat. This would be great for Taco's... We eat it in wraps. Divine 👌

No capsicum, only sweet peppers on hand, so I tripled the Cayenne pepper. Will make it again,but I would like more heat. Will make sure i have some peppers with heat on hand next time. Everyone liked it!

Less cayenne pepper

Taste good, could use more cayenne.

As suggested, I used half the amount of cheese (Emmentaler). IMHO the recipe calls for much too much Cayenne!

This was good. Even my 13 year old had seconds.Whoot whoot!! I agree with everyone else, double the spices. My rice cooked well, but I did cook a little longer. I will make it again.

I doubled the whole recipe and then tripled the spices (after first doubling them) and it was delicious.

Easy to make. Great as a burrito filling or alone in a bowl. Family loved it.

Excellent recipe, very filling! I recommend adding hot sauce.

Seasoning measurements are way off, needed to double or triple it.

This was so delicious and makes leftovers. Will definitely make this again.

needs more seasoning

I used chilli infused olive oil for a kick, and it was amazing. I also used Mexican cheese mix

Delicious!

I had brown rice already cooked so I subbed that for the white rice and stock. Added a bit of water to blend in the tomato paste. Tasted good. Topped with avocado.

Amazing. Husband loved it too.

Easy dish to make and can be done in slow cooker. Used left.over for burritos

Good but lacked in flavor, recommend using spicy peppers If your into that or going heavy on the spices. Next time I'll be adding Rotel as well. All in all this is basically torilla soup with rice. But remember it's a European take on a Mexican dish so if you like flavor it's lacking. Also add extra chicken broth and tomato paste to help cook the rice or you'll be adding crunch.

Rice was a little undercooked, add a few more minutes of simmer time

It was ok.

Had to add augar for some sweetness and aome more spices as it was very bland.

Used half the paprika and cayenne because of our little girl.

I used: 500g lean beef mince 3x red pepper 1.5x white onion 1x bag microwaveable white rice 4x tbsp tomato puree 2x leeks 1x tin of sweetcorn, black turtle beans and red kindey beans 250g mozzarella grated All the seasoning at 4.5tbps includes Oregano, cumin, coriander, parsley and paprika Got some of those el del past boats and sour cream topping almost all of it came from aldi, brilliant will do it again EDIT - was skeptical over the rice so chucked it in micorwave for 30 secs first

I used precooked rice and drained and rinsed the black beans. It was amazing!

Make sure you check on the rice before adding the cheese topping. It was still undercooked for me, so I added about a cup and a half of water and brought it to a boil before allowing it to simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. It was perfect after that.

Instead of the spices they listed I used my homemade taco seasoning. No peppers and dehydrated onion. This was REALLY good! I did use quite a bit more water than they called for and I did rinse my black beans.

Didn’t have much flavor. Bean juice flavor was also overpowering.

Delicious! I didn’t end up using all the spices but it was still so flavorful. (We ate some of it with scoops corn chips for some extra fun)!

It's really good. If you like stuffed peppers, you will love this.

Added some chipotle and jalapeño on top. Cooked rice separately and mixed in after. Served with soured cream and smashed advocado. Leftovers went in tortillas

Subbed the coriander for 1tsp of yellow curry powder instead - very good

Makes so much! Delicious and very filling

I didn't have any bell pepper on hand so left that out. I also didn't have any tomato paste. I used a can of Rotel Mexican lime tomatoes and chiles instead. Also I never used coriander before and ended up using whole coriander seeds instead of ground coriander. Definitely use ground coriander the whole coriander gives it a weird texture like some of the rice is crunchy.

I will make it again. I had pre-cooked ground beef and did this in the slow cooker. I would add some green chiles or even Ro-Tel next time. Good flavor.

Too much cumin.

I loved it. Added more cayenne as I'm a spice lover. No photo, didn't last long enough in my bowl 😁

Really good and easy. Added in a bit more seasoning as I went

Very quick, easy and tastfull. Bug it needed some extra salt. Otherwise delicious!

I doubled the meat and spices and finished in the pressure cooker after adding rice

Very cheesy, large portions. Love that it all comes together in one pot quickly.

Nice but took 2h40min to make.

Liked. Make sure to taste salt level. Ours needed salt with serving.

Very, very tasty. If you looking for a more spicier version, add some chillies or curry powder.

This recipe was a winner. We used ground turkey instead of ground beef, and topped it with corn chips.

Not the best I've made.... might be better with uncle Ben's Spanish rice vs regular instant rice.

Used rotel instead of regular peppers for a little spice and Colby jack cheese cuz it's my favorite. Otherwose followed the recipe and it came out great. The family ate it and came back for lpre!

I enjoyed, although I would double the spices as it was bland in some places.

Made as an emergency impromptu dinner, had to use multiple cheeses (mozzarella and parmesan) since I ran out of cheddar and forgot to add the green onions before adding cheese on top, but otherwise it came out awesome. Best quick impromptu dinner!

I tweaked the recipe for my liking. Adding Green chili's and different colored bell peppers, as well as mushrooms and it turned out fantastic. I will say I used brown rice and biffed that I needed to double the broth by doing that. But other than that it's super easy and few dishes are needed

So many possibilities with this recipe! It makes quite a bit. I'll fill two peppers I have on hand and put in the freezer for an extra meal. Also could serve with taco chips and sour cream, which is how I had it. Could serve as an appetizer, game night, get together. Easy recipe. I used prepackaged taco seasoning instead of following recipe. Anyway I'd make again but not for a long time as I have so much! I suggest using a Dutch oven to make it.

It was yummy! Add some chips and make it a bit more spicy if you like that!

Like it. Looked a bit bland for our tastes so I used frozen corn, more than called for, and a can of diced jalapenos plus Cayenne pepper. It will be on my meal rotation.

It was good. My husband loved it. I'd recommend having everything chopped up before starting to cook. I did not put as much cayenne since I didn't want it to be too spicy for those that are sensitive, but I probably could have put more in than I did bc it wasn't spicy at all.

Sooo good. Everyone in the house loved it. We had some tortilla chips with it as well. Going to make again most certainly

Tasted great 👍

Was eaten before a photo could be taken. Everyone enjoyed it included kids.

Loved this! Added fresh jalapenos with the bell pepper and the heat was perfect for us. I did need to add some water and let the rice cook a bit longer. Flavor was great, whole family was happy.

I made it with chickpeas instead of black beans, tomato instead of bell pepper and brown instant rice

I used 1.5tsp cayenne pepper and jasmine rice. Rice was spot on and very tasty. Might try some fresh chili next time. Serves were very generous at 5 serves. 3 ladles per serve. Nice and filling, yum

Lots of leftovers

**CONSIDER CUTTING RECIPE IN HALF**

🌟🌟🌟🌟⭕️⭕️⭕️

Some fresh red pepper and it’s perfect!

I made with medium grain rice therefore needed to extend the cook time. Added a few more spices, next time will add pieces of jalapeño and cilantro to the dish. side note: my picky 1 year old loved it!!!

Rice needed about 10 min longer and 1/3 cup more liquid. Otherwise very good. Next time I will make the rice separate in instant pot and mix in

This was amazing. My kiddos even loved it! Will 100% add this to our regular roster

Very good! Spices were excellent. I had to cook longer because the rice wasn't getting done and also added more broth. Served with tortillas like a taco or burrito.

Very tasty! All the spices are worth the trouble. I didn't use beans and I used mozerella cheese. Served with tortilla chips. Didn't need anything else! It was a hit, will make again. Plus I LOVE the one pot meal.

Really nice

A good and hearty meal, will be a good dinner for winter time. Things I would do differently/like to try: - I would add more spices - I would try different types of cheese i.e. Apple Wood Cheese - Add diced carrots (200g sweetcorn and 200g carrots instead of 400g of sweetcorn)

Pretty good, got me through being sick for a few days. I did have some trouble with the rice cooking, but I may have been using the wrong kind.

soooo yummy! will definitely make this again! already can't wait to have leftovers!!

This was a great dinner. I would rate it a 9 out of 10. It was a little spicy but we liked it that way. I would call it a mexican chilli recipe. A dollop of sour cream was a good topping. We were out of white rice so we used brown rice. Since brown rice takes much longer to cook vs white rice - we cooked the rice separately and added it toward the end.

It's hearty, tasty, and pretty much foolproof. I subbed in ground turkey, used beef broth, and supplemented with some of my favorite hot sauces while cooking. So glad it makes leftovers 😁

Use more broth than the recipe calls for. Also going to try beef broth next time rather than chicken.

Used a pre-made taco spice mix instead of the individual spices and I didn't have any bell peppers unfortunatley. Topped with some hot sauce and sour cream. Very yummy, the husband also approves 😁

Good, but the rice realllllly didn't want to cook. Also, a dollop of sour cream goes perfectly.

I would have liked more green onions. It got a bit dry so I would use more chicken broth and simmer at a lower temp next time.

It makes a lot, so you will have leftovers.

Added Zucchini, Chives, Red and Yellow Bell Pepper with elite seasoning in addition to the listed spices. Also transferred to a baking dish to melt the cheese in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes. Kids devoured everything and didn't even know they ate peppers and zucchini.

We served it with sour cream and chips..

4 out of 5

Excellent and makes a large portion. Perfect for meal prep or intentional leftovers.

Everyone ate it, which is a win. I was out of Mexican cheeses, but I had easy melt (velveeta) that I put in the middle which gave it a queso flair, and mozzarella on top. I would t do the mozza again, but this is a definite cold evening crown pleaser. Based on other notes, I added extra water and added a can of tomato sauce instead of paste and simmered at least 20 minutes. I also used taco seasoning instead of the list of spices.

Rice needed 10 more minutes and 1/4c more water. Sprinkling cotija and avocado cubes at the end was delicious! Husband would prefer I just make regular tacos, though.

Was quick and delicious! I loved mixing in sour cream.

Cook everything in Dutch oven for 20-25 mins

Next time I would make the rice separately in my rice cooker and add to the other simmered ingredients. The rice did not seem completely cooked. I used my favorite taco seasoning instead of the seasonings in the recipe. This made for great leftovers to wrap into tortillas and freeze.

Need bit more spice. Follow your heart. Need more water and more time. Next time I’ll just parboil the rice separately and mix in.

This wasn't a hit with anyone but my husband. Proabably because I was short on some ingredients.

Pretty good but I doubled the spices.

Already started digging in but tastes so good! We cut the amount of cayenne but kept everything else. Probably put extra garlic than what it called for. Measure with your ❤️

I used a packet of taco seasoning instead of the mix, but otherwise followed the recipe. I am a sucker for one pot meals, and this one will be on repeat. It was tasty, healthy, easy, and fast.

very delicious!! will be making again, ate with scoop chips and it was perfect!

I put it in a casserole dish once it was done and melted shredded cheese on the top before serving. It was very good!

Absolutely delicious! This meal was a total hit in my home! We turned it into burrito bowls by adding lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and sour cream on top.

Recipe worked out fine. Put it in a wrap with avocado and cheese. Yum!

This recipe was ok to start. Because my family loves flavor I added in a can of diced tomatoes, a couple handful of mushrooms, Greek seasoning, Sazon and I mixed both beef and chicken broth for the recipe. I doubled this as I have a family of 7 and everyone came back for seconds. I omitted the cheese though. Didn't mesh well with the rest of the ingredients.

This was fantastic recipe, we put this into a wrap. Everyone enjoyed it. When I make it again next time I just take off the heat when adding in the rice as it did stick down on the bottom of the pan whilst adding the other ingredients. But overall fantastic try n was plenty left over we had the next day. X

Made ~4 moderately sized bowls even though “5 servings”. Added: - hot sauce - sour cream - adobo - fajita seasoning - tortilla chips - cooking wine (Pinot Grigio) Didn’t add: - corn - beans - cayenne powder - cumin Substituted: - green herbs (oregano, coriander) for basil - tomato paste for meat sauce - chicken broth for 3 bouillon cubes in water - cheese used: pepper Jack cheese

I seperated

I love this recipe! I cook my rice in a pressure cooker while I'm cooking the meat and everything else and then mix it all together at the end. I use the whole can of tomato paste with 1 cup of chicken broth. Threw in a fresh diced tomatoe and top with sour cream!

I needed to let my rice cook a bit longer but it was fantastic!! I always eyeball my spices so it is extremely possible I didn't follow those measurement exactly.

It was really good! I didn't have much leftover rice and I didn't feel like cooking any so I just added some tortilla chips to satisfy me.

I used Jalapeño instead of a capsicum. Also, added a bit more of the spice blend ( just eye balled it) which gave it a bit more flavor. Didn't have/add any coriander but still turned out amazing!

Not a lot of flavor

Nice recipe. I made it for meal prep, so it'll be interesting to see how it holds up, but I imagine it'll still be great in a few days. I didn't use cheese because of a dairy intolerance, but it still tastes delicious. Also added some tapatio, which was perfect.

I made this in my Dutch oven and it’s came together really quickly. We will be eating the leftovers in some tortillas this week

Delicious with pickled Jalapeños and hot sauce. Definitely will have leftovers. This was super easy to make and I would make it again. Would work well with ground chicken or turkey. I would also be curious to try this with spicy chorizo.

This was delicious! My family added sour cream on top and made it even better!

It was really good & tasty . I added diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce

I love how easy this was to make, the flavor was really good!

Excellent

It's really good and filling!

This came out amazing and makes many leftovers, I used ground turkey instead of beef then garnished with pickled onions and sour cream. Leftovers where great for burritos :)

I cooked the rice separately and added it in in the end, which worked well. Didn’t add the black beans as my kids hate them! They ate 2 helpings, very unusual! Adults needed to add some chilli sauce as this was quite mild.

Hearty meal ok for a winters night. Always make sure you add the full amount of salt and the rice will probably take longer to cook I normally have to add a bit more boiling water to stop it sticking.

I used instant long grain white rice. Works perfect, don't need extra liquid.

I agree with the others - it took way more time and liquid than the recipe indicates. probably another cup of liquid and at least 10 more minutes. with that in mind, this was a delicious and easy recipe and made a metric ton of food.

So good and easy to make. I used my cast iron Dutch oven. I also added freah cilantro to the mix. I will make this again as it proved to be an easy week night fix.

My daughter loves this dish. I haven’t tried it yet; therefore, I have no opinion either way. It was simple to follow, frozen corn works well. Adding fresh green onions to garnish is definitely the way to go.

This dish was good. Took a little longer to get together than I thought it would but I had time. The flavor was good.

I made with Arborio rice and an extra cup of water - it was delicious!

It definitely took way more water and time to cook the rice thoroughly. Next time I would cook the rice separately and then add it toward the end just to meld the flavors.

Absolutely buzzing with this Mexican Beef Casserole!!! So easy, quick and OMG the smell when putting it together is amazing and got everyone’s noses going in my house!!! It’s very versatile too so you can play around with it and add things that u like ( I didn’t add the cayenne pepper only because Tesco didn’t have any in to buy when I went but to be honest my family or no good with spice so it’s great u don’t have too and it makes plenty for leftovers so lunches are sorted too!!! My family wanted something different as sick of the same old teas and I came across Whisk and this recipe and thought I would take the plunge and risk it and ohh boy I’m glad I did! It will be a new staple tea for our house! Thank you so much!

It was delicious! I needed to add an extra chopped tomato in and more water, and I preboiled the rice for 10 minutes before adding it in to the mix, but it was really tasty!

Easy to make and simply delicious! Loved it!
