HOW TO MAKE ONE POT MEXICAN RICE CASSEROLE
This One Pot Mexican Beef and Rice Skillet is a straightforward dish for a supper that only requires one pot, and it is flavored with Mexican spices. It’s a recipe that can be prepared in less than half an hour, yet everyone in the family will go crazy for it. The fact that you may top this dish with whichever toppings you like most, whether they cilantro, non-fat Greek yogurt, sliced tomatoes, or salsa, is the part of this recipe that I like the most.
This dish can be frozen successfully. You may keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container, or you can freeze them for up to two months. So when you are ready to serve it, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it.
