Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups taco sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked
  • 24 turkey meatballs about 340 grams, thawed, bite-sized, frozen
  • 1 cup (4 oz) cheddar cheese shredded
  • green onion diced avocado, sliced tomatoes, sliced olives, optional topping, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Stir taco sauce, water, tomatoes, taco seasoning and rice together in prepared dish. Add meatballs and ½ cup cheese; stir to combine.
  3. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil (make sure it’s very tightly sealed so that the moisture doesn’t escape – the rice needs the liquid to cook).
  4. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender. During the final 5 minutes of cooking, remove dish from oven, uncover, and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese. Place back in the oven (uncovered) for the final 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  5. Garnish with desired toppings before serving.
