Mexican Casserole

Submitted by MommaMeredith

"This Mexican style casserole is fairly healthy and really easy to throw together. I prepare it using a vegetarian version of ground beef, but I'm sure that it will also work well with any type of ground meat."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 12 ounces vegetarian ground beef (I use Morning Star Farms "Meal Starters")
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (defrosted)
• 1 (1 1/2 ounce) packet burrito seasoning mix
• 16 ounces salsa
• 1 (10 ounce) can light cream soup (anything)
• 1 cup light shredded cheddar cheese

directions

1. Heat the oven to 350.
2. 1. Mix all of the ingredients together (except the cheese)
3. 2. Pour into a sprayed casserole dish.
4. 3. If the dish looks a bit too dry for you add a bit of broth or some more salsa.
5. 4. Cover with the cheese.
6. 5. Cover the dish and cook for about 40 minutes then uncover it and cook it for another 15 minutes or so.
7. I serve this topped with lettuce, light sour cream, hot sauce and salsa (like a salad on top of the casserole).

This is delicious! I made it for a friend's birthday - she eats meat and so do my husband and I, but her boyfriend is a vegetarian. I used cheddar cheese soup and Safeway garlic lovers salsa and it was AMAZING! Thanks for a great, quick, easy and delicious recipe. :)
