Mexican Rice Casserole

"A great way to use a pound of ground beef and make a dinner that all will love. It's so easy too! If you cannot find Mexicorn by Green Giant, you can use a regular can of corn or frozen corn. To control the heat of the dish, you can choose mild, medium or hot salsa!"

  1. This is an easy recipe for a quick dinner! I did not use the corn salsa, since I did not have any in my cupboard. I subbed the salsa for Diced tomatoes with green chilies. For my sides: Corn bread and Jalapenos Poppers! Yum!
     
  2. Very easy, quick, make-ahead meal. I, like someone else said, used taco seasoning in place of chili powder, and I use 1 cup salsa, 1 cup tomato sauce instead of 2 cups salsa....and I just use frozen corn as we don't care for canned.
     
  3. Added chopped celery and onion to the ground beef. Used my home made salsa. Used frozen corn. Didn't add chilli powder nor cumin since my salsa is quite spicy. Added the cheese and stirred it in before baking. Very good.
     
  4. This was good, but i had to change it. I couldn't bring myself to put two cups of salsa in it. So i did one cup salsa and one cup pizza sauce (had some leftover). It was very good, and the whole house ate it. From now on i'll use the salsa and some tomato sauce.
     
  5. This was really easy to make. I used Jasmin rice instead of long grain. I added southwestern corn because that is what I had on hand. I also add taco seasoning instead of chili powder. Still tasted great. Served it with tortillas.

  3. This is absolutely fabulous! I loved every bite of it! I make my own salsa, so I used that. It is spicy so it definitely gave this dish a "kick". I didn't have mexicorn, so I used regular can corn. I also used taco seasoning instead of the chili powder. My kids liked eating this inside a tortilla shell, like a soft taco for them. I will be making this often, as I always have these ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing this wonderful dish!

  5. Good. I added a halapeno, and used brown rice that I make huge batches of and keep in the freezer. I also replaced the chili powder with taco seasoning. Good with a nice kick.
