What Makes This Mexican Ground Beef Casserole So Fantastic
This Instant Pot Mexican Ground Beef Casserole is easily one of my favorite Mexican ground beef recipes, and for good reason. It's a casserole recipe that's bursting with Mexican flavors but doesn't take a whole lot of effort on my part.
What makes this Mexican Ground Beef Casserole so easy? Why the Instant Pot, of course.
It's practically a pour and cook recipe, you just have to saute the beef and onions before you dump in the rest of the ingredients. And the one extra step is well worth the delicious outcome.
This is one of those easy casseroles that you'll find yourself wanting to make again and again. It's so very simple yet so very good.
And since I was able to keep myself from adding cayenne to the mix (what can I say, I like my food spicy), this is a completely family-friendly meal option.
Another thing that I like about this recipe is that, unlike most ground beef recipes, it doesn't use a ton of ground beef.
Using just half a pound of meat and adding red beans lets you reduce the meat without losing the heartiness, and using plant protein to round out your meal.
That means just as much protein without having to break the bank on meat.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Ground Beef
- Onion
- Tomatoes
- Bell Peppers
- Kidney Beans
- Taco Seasoning
- Kosher Salt
- Basmati Rice
How To Make Mexican Ground Beef Casserole With Rice And Beans
- Select saute. When the pot is hot, add the ground beef and onions. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add some water and deglaze while allowing the water to evaporate.
- Add taco seasoning, salt, and rice.
- Add more water. Pour in the tomatoes, peppers, and kidney beans on top of the rice and meat mixture. Do not stir.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot then close the pressure-release valve. Select Pressure Cook and set the pot at HIGH pressure.
- Once the timer hits zero, let pot release pressure naturally for 10 minutes and then use a quick release to remove any remaining steam.
- Stir and serve.
Tips And Tricks For Making Mexican Ground Beef Casserole
- Customize it. You can garnish with cheese, cilantro, avocados, sour cream—whatever your taste buds and dietary considerations allow.
- Add an egg. This dish is perfect with a fried egg on two on top of the rice.
- Double up. If you double the recipe, use only 1.75 cups of water, otherwise, your rice will be quite mushy.
- Avoid the burn notice. Do not forget to deglaze the Instant Pot if you have any meat or onions stuck to the bottom. I often use an extra 1/4 cup of water to deglaze, and I allow it all to evaporate before adding the rest of the ingredients.
