Crock Pot Taco Casserole Recipe
Description
This casserole begins with browning ground beef and onions to develop flavor, then mixing in corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with chilis, and taco seasoning to create a savory filling. Cooked rice spread in the slow cooker serves as the base to absorb the flavors as the casserole cooks.
The meat mixture is layered over the rice, sprinkled with garlic salt, and slow cooked on high before stirring in part of the shredded cheddar cheese. Additional cheddar is added on top to melt under the low heat finish, forming a cheesy top layer.
The casserole is ready to serve once the cheese melts and the ingredients meld. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, making this a flexible meal option.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 1 cup corn
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis
- 1/2 package taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 4 cups rice (cooked)
- 8 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilis and taco seasoning.
- Spray your crock pot insert with a non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the cooked rice in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Sprinkle with garlic salt on top of the rice.
- Spoon the meat mixture over the rice.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
- Then stir the mixture in the crock pot. Gently stir in half of the cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Then the meal is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
