I thought it would be a great idea to start a meme of my very own. To be a part of this meme simply visit your favorite family, recipe, home, etc. blog and find a recipe you want to try OR it can just be a new recipe you are trying from anywhere! Try the recipe (make sure to take pictures and make note of any tips you find useful while making it) at home. Then blog about it (if it is from another blog, you could add a link to the original post if you wanted). It’s that simple. Once you post on your blog, come on over and link up for my weekly “Foodie Friday” Meme!!!
I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I hope I can get Mr. Linky to cooperate!! I have heard horror stories. But I am keeping a positive attitude!! Mr. Linky and I are going to be good friends!! (right Mr. Linky?!?)
So, without further ado, I bring you (drum roll please)…
Taco Rice Casserole (from Laura@HomemakingJoyfully)
What you need:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked brown rice ( I used regular white rice *note* if you use white rice adjust cooking time)
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes and enough water to make 4 cups (I used diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 4 t. taco seasoning (about 2 packets)
- shredded cheese to put on top
What to do:
- in a large pot, brown ground beef and onion, drain excess fat
- add remaining ingredients (except cheese) and bring to a boil
- reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is done (45 minutes to an hour) stirring occasionally
Serving Suggestions:
- in a bowl with shredded cheese
- over tortilla chips, with cheese
- as dip for tortilla chips, with cheese
- rolled in a corn or flout tortilla with cheese
Are you seeing a pattern of CHEESE here?? LOL we LOVE cheese!! I left mine a little soupy cause I used it for dip for chips and cheese!!!
Thank you Laura for a great recipe, my family loved it!!!
