16 Spring Hill local June 2021 Mexican Beef and Rice Casserole This one-pot dish is super easy and a quick clean up. So many flavors to enjoy, and you can play with the ingredients and the toppings to make it your own dish. If you like a little more heat, you could add jalapenos, or if you prefer it a bit milder, you could substitute diced tomatoes instead of Rotel. As far as other topping ideas, we like shredded lettuce and avocado, and we always add tortilla chips to the side. This would also be great as a filling in taco shells or rolled up in a flour tortilla as a burrito. For the burrito, drizzle a little taco sauce over the top and add shredded cheese and bake at 350 until heated through, about 30 minutes. Many possibilities, so get cooking and have fun making this recipe your own!!

Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 16-18 minutes. Stir often to keep rice from sticking to bottom on pan. Stir in lime juice. • Remove from heat and top with cheeses. Cover until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. • Serve immediately, garnished with tomato and cilantro, if desired.
