Mexican Style Rice Casserole

Time for another inauthentic recipe! This one made use of the copious amount of white rice we had leftover from the last time we ordered Chinese take-out. Normally I'd use it to make rice pudding, but we didn't have anything for dinner. Desperate times call for desperate measure. What we ended up with was a surprisingly tasty and filling meal that was super easy to make. It works as a side or main, and is easily made vegetarian by leaving out the ground beef!

Mexican Style Rice Casserole
Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) tomato soup
  • 1 can tomatoes with jalapeno (10 ounces)
  • 3/4 can (about 1-1/2 cups) corn
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
  • 1 packet Sazon seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • more cheese, dammit.
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (191C, Gas Mark 5)
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except the extra cheese.
  3. In a 9x13" greased baking dish dump in everything from the bowl and spread evenly.
  4. Top with as much extra cheese as you can possibly tolerate.
  5. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until top is starting to bubble.
Good times!
