Hey y’all! I’ve got this little brand spankin’ new easy peasy Beef and Rice Taco Casserole to share with you today. I’m not lying when I say this is GOOD. I’ve made it once a week for the past three weeks, and Eric and I have been happily eating it all up every single time.
Why have I made it three times in three weeks? Well, I’m a perfectionist. It all started on a really snowy week about three weeks ago when I was going to make Mom’s Chicken and Rice! I had it all planned and then I realized I didn’t have any chicken and the LAST thing I was going to do is run to the store in a freezing cold snow storm. I really don’t love grocery shopping in the winter. It’s my favorite thing to do. (Yes, I know I need to work on my hobbies!) But, I could absolutely do without during the winter. I hate bringing Pepper out in the cold too. First time mom here- Don’t hate!
Anyway, I had a bunch of ingredients for taco type things, but no tortillas… and 98% of the ingredients for Mom’s Chicken and Rice. I was really craving a ricey-type dish. So I came up with this on a whim, and it really worked out. Eric’s belly was happy and so was mine. I made it a bit spicy because I only had spicy salsa on hand, so Miss Pepper didn’t have any… So unfortunately, this one does not have the Pepper stamp of approval like most of my dishes do!
I’m making this a quick post because I have presents to wrap and hallmark Christmas movies to watch, but I wanted to share it with you before I forget… because this is a good one!
Let’s get cooking!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Brown some ground beef with salt & pepper.
In a big mixing bowl, add 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilis, about 1/2 cup of salsa (the level of spiciness will depend mostly on the salsa you choose), 1 cup long grain white rice (NOT instant), 1 can cream of celery/chicken/mushroom soup (I prefer cream of celery in this dish), 1 packet of taco seasoning, and one cup of chicken or beef broth.
Add cooked ground beef into the bowl.
Mix it up real good.
Grab a casserole dish, spray it with some cooking spray, and add the yummy mixture!
*COVER with tinfoil. This is a super important step (Which is why I am using bold lettering!), I should have taken a photo of it, but I didn’t. Covering it with foil is the only way the rice will cook fully in the oven.
Much like Mom’s Chicken & Rice it doesn’t look like much, but oh my gosh- It delivers flavor like something really special!
As you can imagine, after eating this for three weeks. Eric and I have both come up with a few different ways to eat it. It’s very good all by its lonesome, but I do love adding it on top of a bed of lettuce, then using a dollop of light sour cream and some Colby Jack!
Eric also ate his with tortilla chips crushed up over it, and he said that was his favorite way. He ate all the tortilla chips, otherwise I would have taken a picture of it that way for ya too!
Now go make this!
With Love From My Kitchen to Yours,
Star
Ingredients
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked (do not use instant rice
- 1 can tomatoes with diced chilis
- 1/2 cup heaping favorite salsa I love my homemade salsa or mateos!
- 1 packet low sodium taco seasoning ortega is my favorite brand if not making homemade
- 1 cup 98% fat free beef or chicken broth
- 1 can 98% fat free cream of celery cream of mushroom/chicken will work as well
- Cooking Spray
Optional extra toppings!
- lettuce
- shredded cheese
- crushed tortilla chips
- light sour cream
- cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet add ground beef, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned. In a large bowl combine rice, diced tomatoes with chilis, salsa, taco seasoning, broth, cream soup, and cooked ground beef. Stir together until combined well. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray spread mixture inside. Cover with tin foil. Place into oven and cook for 45-50 minutes until the rice is cooked. Divide into 6 servings. Top with desired toppings such as cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and/or crushed up tortilla chips!
Would this work with long grain brown rice?
I’m sorry I Haven’t tried it with brown rice, but will try to update the recipe if I do!
Easy to put together and so tasty. We added tortilla chips and cheese. Delicious. Thanks, Star!
So happy you enjoyed, Carol! Thank you for letting me know!
This was so easy to make but tasted so good!!! Another winner – thank you!
Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so so much for letting me know!
We used white long grain rice to make this tonight but haven’t been able to get the rice to finish cooking. We’ve cooked it for a total of 80 minutes at this point and still slightly undercooked. Anyone have any thoughts?
Otherwise this is simply delicious and will be in constant rotation for us!
Wow 80 minutes. I’m so sorry that happened. Was it covered tightly with foil? I have a few rice casserole recipes and every so often when someone has difficulties cooking the rice it’s usually due to the wrong rice being used (but I saw you used white long grain rice) so I have to ask about the foil part. Rice can be finicky sometimes, but usually requires no more than about 10 extra minutes due to oven variations when that happens.
First time making and we loved it!
Can you make this the night before. I love this recipe I make it all the time unfortunately the gas companies here and just turned our gas off. As I was just about to put this in the oven.
Picky eater here, made this tonight and it was so simple and inexpensive to make. So yummy!!! Adding this to the rotation! Love have recipes like this to go to that doesn’t feel like I’m dieting. Added some cheese and ate with some Tortilla chips.
SO delicious and couldn’t have been easier to throw together. As a new mom who’s working full time, this is so perfect to whip up after work and have leftovers all week!
This recipe is soooo tasty! What I like so much about it, is that it’s very versatile. I like to make a taco salad with it, my daughters like to put in on tortilla chips and add some cheese and my husband likes to eat it as is, with some pico and sour cream on top. #top2021
We all loved it!!
Hi Star! I want to make this for dinner tonight but wasn’t sure what size can of tomatoes so I read the reviews. On 04/06/21 You said a 14oz can with all the liquid but on later reviews when people asked you said a 10oz can. I’m not sure which to use. Please help!
I must have switched up what I was using over the years this recipe is a bit older. I usually use a can of rotel in this one these days which is 10 ounces, however you may also use a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes. It won’t make that much of a difference. The rotel adds more flavor and heat unless you get the mild version. I hope you enjoy!
This is one of the best dishes ever. Made it for the first time tonight, so good. I did make it ahead of time and it turned out fine.
I’m obsessed with this one.
I use it for meal prep probably about once a month. I generally sub the ground beef for a cooked zucchini/onion mixture. Makes it vegetarian, if you’re in to that kind of thing and it cuts it down to about 230 calories for a hearty and delicious meal.
This is perfect for making ahead of time and freezing, you can also make it and then cut it into longer servings for perfectly rolled burritos!
I have so much to say about this recipe but all those things boil down to this: make it. A million times, make it. You’ll love it and you’ll love how easy it is!
Everyone make this–I’m like a broken record with Star’s recipes. I haven’t found a daggone one I didn’t like, nor my family. Make this. It’s absolutely delicious and so incredibly easy. Thanks yet again Star! This is just full of flavor and straight up comfort. Loved it so so much!!
Thank you thank you thank you for always taking the time to come back and rate and comment, Shawna! I appreciate you!
Made this dish tonight for the first time. Just added diced tomatoes (no chilies). It was very delicious! I put my portion in a tortilla with 2 slices of bacon and Velvetta Shreds on top!
YUMMERS
Love this and make it a lot! I was wondering if I can make it ahead and put it in the fridge until I am ready to bake it, or will the rice absorb all of the liquid and make it turn out dry?
What size of canned tomatoes? And do you drain them or use them liquid and all? Thanks so much for your great recipes!
14 oz can, i add it all with the liquid! so happy you enjoy the recipes!
Seriously one of my favorite things to make! So easy and so delicious and the leftovers are even better!!! Trust me when I say, you won’t be disappointed!!! @jenben83
I absolutely love this recipe. I like it just as is with some toppings. My family likes it as a taco filings. It also freezes well. My Instagram account is theresa.d3.
This has become a family favorite. Even my picky kids love it (as long as tomato chunks aren’t visible ). My husband requests this one often. It makes amazing leftovers as well!
(Insta: rltimmons)
Really enjoyed this. I made mine with Trader joe beefless crumbles instead of ground beef and it came out super yummy!!! Will make again. !!
This is amazing! Entire family loved it. And it is so simple you make. Will definitely be part of the rotation.
I seldom post comments, but this recipe is amazing! My family loved it and have requested I make it every week. Definitely a winner that will be in the regular rotation at our house!
Yay! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and review, Emily! It means so much. I’m so glad y’all enjoy it!
How many points would it be if you used cauliflower rice instead?
I’d love to try this recipe. Can I prepare it the night before or morning or of and leave it in the fridge to put in the oven the next day or later that day?
This is seriously the BEST recipe ever! My son asked me to make 2 next time! The only bad thing is trying to only eat one portion 🙂
Thanks for ANOTHER amazing recipe!
I made this and it was so good! My daughters boyfriend has celiac disease and I was able to adapt this very easily for him to eat this also. My husband made his into a burrito. We added black beans as a topping as well! I give this recipe an A+++!
that makes me so happy that you were able to adapt this for him to be able to eat! Glad y’all enjoyed!
This is delicious! Thanks for sharing. Just one thing… not sure what i did wrong but when I put this in the recipe builder it’s 9 points per serving. On WW freestyle.
Did you input the nutritional information? It’ll be different because of zero point items. You’ll need to input ingredients into the official WW recipe builder for the most accurate points.
This comes out perfect everytime. I use basmati rice and never have an issue. Love your recipes!
Yay! So happy you enjoy’m Erin! Thanks so much for stopping by to rate this and let me know!
Wanting to make this tonight because it’s Taco Tuesday!! What would you use in place of the soup? Want to make sure I have a good amount of liquid to cook my rice! We just are cutting dairy and most canned food. Love all of your recipes and have made quite a few things.
I made this tonight and it came out completely Liquid! What went wrong? Double-checked my amounts and all were correct. What’s the consistency supposed to be?
It’s not really supposed to be liquid-y at all. What type of rice did you use? Did you cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil?
HOW LEAN IS THE MEAT YOU USE FOR THIS AND HAVE
WHAT KIND OF SALSA DO YOU USE? THANK YOU!
93/7 lean beef. I use a variety of salsas homemade and store bought. You can use your favorite kind!
I’m making this tonight and can’t wait! Quick question – do you think swapping Orzo for Rice would work?
Since orzo is pasta it definitely quicks quite a bit quicker than rice. I haven’t never tried making orzo in something like this, but please let me know if you do try!
Made this last night! My husband and I loved it! Leftovers for lunch today! Love your recipes! Thanks for sharing!
I made this for the first time the other night for dinner and it was fabulous! I dont know why I didn’t make it sooner. I cant believe this didn’t make it into the top 10 for 2018. I cant thank you enough for all the great recipes!
Yum! Thanks! This will work nicely for lunches and/or dinners this week.
Agreed, it reheats so nicely! And, you can eat it a few different ways so it doesn’t get boring throughout the week. I’m so glad you enjoyed, Sara!
Tried this recipe tonight and it was a huge hit! I was curious if this is something that would work making ahead a time and freezing? I am looking for casseroles to make before baby arrives and freeze and this one sounds like a good pick. Thanks for your help!
I tried this tonight. I cooked it for 50 minutes and the rice was still hard 🙁 I am not sure what I did wrong, I used all the correct measurements. I am putting it back in the oven but not sure if we will be able to wait another hour or if we’ll just go grab something. Bummed, this is the first time a recipe hasn’t turned out for me here.
Hi Tori, so sorry to hear this didn’t turn out. Did you use regular long grain white rice rice/cover tightly with foil? I haven’t had trouble with this recipe, but do know that if you use different type of rice it will require extra liquid to cook/longer cooking time.
The first time I made it I did not read the instructions well and I didn’t cover it with tin foil and my rice was hard…. The other times it had been great…. When you cover it like it says…. Lol
Haha! I’m so happy you tried it again and it came out good for you! I know how ya feel though. I can be the worst at reading directions fully!
Such a versatile recipe. One of my favorites!
Love this!! Quick to put together and soooo good! Going into my rotation recipes for sure! I love how your recipes are so easy to prepare with common ingredients, and family friendly! Thanks for sharing!
Hello, is there anything I can substitute the cream of celery with? I cant have anything cream of. Thanks! love ALL of your recipes!
Just made this tonight for the first time. It was so good! Thank you for sharing! Made plenty for me and my husband to have 2-3 meals (for both of us).

I added a can of drained corn to the recipe, and then when I put my portion on a plate I put 1/4 cup of fat free shredded cheddar on top. I really loved this recipe!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Kathy! The corn addition sounds so yummy. So happy you enjoyed!

Made this tonight but used 99% FF ground turkey for 3 smart points per serving! Also attempted it in my Instant Pot and it was amazing! So glad I have found your blog. My family has loved all of the recipes we have tried so far.
I’m glad ya found me too! I am so happy you and your family are enjoying the recipes!
Did you have to make any adjustments for the instant pot? I’ve had issues when using cream soups, where my pot never seals, and I think it’s because of there not being enough liquid. How did you convert this to the instant pot, and how much time did you cook it? Thanks!
Hi there! I’m so sorry I don’t have an Instant Pot so I don’t have that info available.
Hi Eric

My casserole dish is a funky shape and tough to eyeball 1/6th of the dish for serving size. anybody know what 1/6 comes out to?is it 3/4 of a cup? a cup?
It’s one heaping cup. It’s easy if you just cut it into six servings too. =) hope that helps, enjoy!

I made this today in the slow cooker and it came out fantastic! I cooked it on high for 4 hours, next time I think I’ll try it either 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high. The rice was a little mushy but it still tasted great!
Nice to hear it worked well in the slow cooker for ya! Thanks for the feedback on that. So glad you enjoyed. This is a TOTAL favorite here!

I love this recipe so much. I’ve probably made it like 6 times. Its perfect when you’re doing WW, I cut it into sixths, and put it in containers and have it with shredded lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and sometimes nacho chips. I make it with ground turkey, and the last time I made it to add some fiber, I used half turkey, and 5oz. of black beans. It’s still delicious!
The black bean addition sounds delicious. I’m so happy you enjoy it!

How far in advance can you make this? If I wanted to make and freeze it.
I have never made it in advance, but I have cooked the ground beef, mixed everything together, popped in the fridge, and then added the rice just before baking. Hope that helps!

Am making this tonight…does it freeze well?
I am not sure yet. The last batch I made I put a few servings in the freezer, so I will edit the post and try to remember to comment back when I take it out in a month or so. I hope you enjoyed!

So, I finally made this last night for dinner. I used ground turkey, because that’s what I had on hand, as well as brown rice. I would also like to make note I have a picky group of boys. My youngest son does not mix or let things touch on his plate…. and when I made his I asked how he wanted it – and he said like a taco salad. EVERYONE, including him, absolutely LOVED this dish!!! I can’t wait to have it again!!! Best recipe found yet!!! Thank you for sharing!!! <3

Hi! This looks yummy! Could the sauce from your Chicken Noodle Casserole be used in place of the cream of chicken soup here? Thanks!
It sure could! I would not use the thyme and rosemary though. Keep it a more simple creamed soup.(onion, salt and pepper, garlic!) I’m actually working on a post right now about the homemade cream of condensed soup!
Great, thank you!

Have you tried baking it with cooked rice so it takes a little less time in the oven? I love the microwavable brown rice by birds eye and wondered if I could add that instead of uncooked rice. Thoughts?
I have not tried with cooked rice. One of my favorite parts of cooking the rice with the entire dish is how flavorful the rice gets. I feel like it would be okay, but the cooking time would be very little because the beef is already cooked and all.

Could this be cooked in a crock pot? Beef browned first of course…
I have not tried this in the crock pot so I am not sure on the amounts of liquid, etc!

I just discovered your site and made the beef and rice taco casserole last night, using ground turkey. I LOVED it!!! I could eat it every day (and I will since I cook for myself only lol). Can’t wait to try other recipes from your site.

Have you ever used a pressure cooker to make this dish?
I haven’t! I’m sorry I haven’t dove into the world of instant pots and pressure cookers. Maybe someday! I wish I could help. I hope you enjoy if you make it!

Do you think I could sub the rice with quinoa? Also do you think I could follow the recipe the same way when using quinoa?
I’m honestly not 100% sure. I have only worked with quinoa once or twice in the past. If I had to guess, I’m sure it would, but I don’t know if the cook times would be the exact same. I would check the quinoa to see if it’s done a a little before the 50 minute mark and if not continue cooking. If it’s still not done, use judgement, but it would probably only need 5-10 minutes extra.
Thanks, Star! I’ll try it out and let you know my findings. Thanks for the great recipes!
UPDATE: made this recipe with quinoa and turkey and it is delicious! Followed your recipe to a “T” and it worked out great.
GOOD!! I am so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for letting me know so that I can answer anyone else who asks!

I made this today, but didn’t have any cream of celery or mushroom soup so I used refried beans! It’s in the oven now!
I hope it tastes delicious! That’s actually another way I ate it. I topped it on some nonfat refried beans! delish!

I was really looking forward to making this because I love anything “taco” and anything with rice. Made it last night and loved it!
I’m so happy that you love it! I am already looking forward to it being on the menu again even after having it for three weeks in a row. haha!

I make a few casseroles for my husband to choose from when he is on night shift and this was his all time favorite! He raved about it!
Eric is the SAME way. He LOVES it too. After three weeks in a row of having it, he’s already asking when I am making it again. haha! I’m happy hubby was pleased!

This sounds yummy! What size casserole pan are you using?
Can’t wait to try it! 🙂
This was a 3 quart dish, but i also made it in a 9×13 and it cooked just the same! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for always including a pic of the recipe in the printable recipes. I hate not being able to see it later on! Sometimes seeing it helps me know it’s what I want for dinner!
