We love a good rice casserole. They’re fast, versatile, easy to scale when feeding a crowd. They also make the absolute best leftovers. While family favorites like this chicken and rice casserole<\/a> will never go out of style, Spanish rice with ground beef is a fun way to change up the protein and flavors.<\/p>\n Recipes that use a pound of ground beef will always save a busy weeknight, and this one happens to be packed with your favorite Tex-Mex spices. It’s also a useful way to get rid of leftover rice in your fridge.<\/p>\n Aside from being totally delicious, you’ll love this dish for its easy preparation and cleanup since it’s a single skillet recipe (unless you’re cooking the rice fresh, in which case you’ll have two<\/em> pans). Additionally, this Spanish rice casserole is also easy to customize. Add extra veggies, toss in extra spices, change up the protein, or load up with your favorite taco-style toppings\u2014whatever your heart desires. There aren’t many rules to follow when it comes to making this one-pan recipe. The only thing we can recommend is making a double batch because everyone is going to want a second helping.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, cook the beef (breaking it up into crumbles), onions and peppers over medium heat for six to eight minutes or until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are tender. Drain the excess liquid in the skillet.<\/p>\n Stir in the tomato sauce, canned tomatoes and seasonings, then bring it to a boil.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0Not all canned tomato products are created equal. For a more robust flavor, look for canned tomatoes packed in tomato puree rather than water. This will yield a thicker sauce.<\/p>\n Add the cooked rice and heat through, stirring occasionally. Garnish with green onions, if desired, and serve warm.<\/p>\n This Spanish rice recipe with ground beef makes excellent leftovers. Store in an airtight food storage container (or individual meal prep containers) and refrigerate for up to five days. To reheat, warm the dish in the microwave with a splash of water in a vented, microwave-safe container until heated through. You may also reheat it in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until heated through.<\/p>\n Yes! Store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to six months. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat as directed above.<\/p>\n Because it has a starch and a protein, this dish can be served as a standalone meal. Just doctor it up with toppings, if desired, and enjoy. For a more filling meal, pair it with a batch of homemade tortillas<\/a>, a skillet of this spicy jalape\u00f1o buttermilk cornbread<\/a> or a few ears of grilled Mexican street corn<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reinvent your leftovers by turning them into a giant tortilla for a fast and flavorful burrito recipe. If you’re heading to a gathering with friends to watch the game, you can also melt shredded cheese over the casserole and serve it with a big bowl of homemade air-fryer tortilla chips to dip and scoop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a fast and flavorful dinner, look no further than this Spanish rice with ground beef,\u00c4\u00eeit’s the ultimate one-skillet dinner when

Mom\u2019s Spanish Rice Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
What goes well with Spanish rice?<\/h3> \r\n\r\nLots of dishes go well with a Spanish rice recipe, including fajitas<\/a>, enchiladas<\/a> and burritos<\/a>. Spanish rice can also be served as a main dish by itself and topped with sour cream and shredded cheese. \r\n\r\n
Is there a difference between Mexican rice and Spanish rice?<\/h3> \r\n\r\nAlthough they share a lot of similar ingredients, authentic Mexican and Spanish rice use different spices. Spanish rice commonly uses saffron<\/a>, which is where its yellow hue comes from. Saffron can be very expensive, but a few threads go a long way and will last you a long time! Mexican rice typically is tomato-based and uses cumin to get its distinct flavor and color. Try this easy Mexican Rice with Poached Eggs<\/a> recipe for your next meal.\r\n
