Directions

Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb of ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess grease.

Season and Mix

Return the skillet to the stove, add 2 tbsp of taco seasoning and 1 tsp of garlic powder to the beef. Stir well to coat the beef.

Simmer

Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked and tender.

Add Cheese

Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top. Cover and cook until cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve the casserole hot, straight from the skillet.
