This is one of my son’s favorites. It’s not really, by definition, a casserole. Not an “ooey-gooey-mixture-compressed-into-pan-and-baked-until-congealed”. It’s really just a mixture of yellow rice, ground beef, corn, and tortilla chips, but we have dubbed it “rice casserole”.
For this recipe, you will need:
10 oz bag of yellow rice mix. We use Publix or Vigo brands.
1/2 lb of ground beef, browned and drained.
2 Tbsp of dairy free margarine. We use Earth Balance.
16 oz can of sweet corn, drained. We use Green Giant brand.
Tortilla chips to garnish. We use Tostitos.
Brown and drain the ground beef, then set aside. We brown a whole pound, use half for this dish, then freeze the other half for spaghetti another night.
Cook the yellow rice mix according to package instructions. This includes the 2 Tbsp of dairy free margarine.
Fold the beef and corn into to cooked rice and serve with crushed tortilla chips on top or mixed in.
The picture doesn’t really sell it, but oh well. I’m not selling anything here and the taste will sell itself!
