Ingredients

1 1/2 lb ground beef

1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup

1 package (5.4 oz) Spanish rice mix

2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains and it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. While the beef is cooking, prepare the Spanish rice according to the package directions.

  4. Transfer the cooked ground beef to a 9x13 inch casserole dish and stir in the cheddar cheese soup until well combined.

  5. Spread the cooked Spanish rice evenly over the beef and soup mixture.

  6. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly across the top. Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
