Mexican Cheesy Ground Beef and Rice Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 Can Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup
• 1 Cup Long Grain White Rice
• 2 Cups Water
• 1 Can Black Beans, drained
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1 Taco Seasoning Packet
• Water, per package instructions
• Cheddar or colby jack cheese
• Salsa for serving
• Avocado for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then coat an 8×9″ baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Warm a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, pour off the excess fat, then mix in the seasoning packet and the amount of water directed on the package. Let it simmer until the mixture has thickened.
3. In a bowl, combine the soup, rice, remaining water, beans, and cooked beef. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake for 90 minutes.
4. Lay the cheese slices over the top and return the dish to the oven for a few more minutes, just until the cheese has melted.
