This hot rice is tasty and versatile. Scoop up the beefy, cheesy rice mixture with tortilla chips, eat it with a fork, or load it up into crunchy taco shells.

ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 can (10 ounce size) diced tomatoes and green chilies
3 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease and return the pan to the heat.

Add the garlic salt, salt, and diced tomatoes with green chiles into the beef mixture. Mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir the rice and sour cream into the beef mixture. Mix well then transfer it to the greased baking dish.

Top the rice caliente with the grated Monterey Jack cheese. Place the rice in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove the beefy rice from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
