Ingredients
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
10.75-ounce can red enchilada sauce
15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
15-ounce can corn, drained
1 cup cooked rice
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or your preferred seasoning blend)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are tender, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to the stove.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, cooked rice, and all the seasonings (Slap Ya Mama, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes). Stir to combine everything evenly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
