Dump and Bake recipes are one of my favorite go-to week night meals. This recipe uses uncooked brown rice, making the preparation super quick and easy. Cheesy Taco Rice can be served on it’s own or as a side to grilled chicken or Carne Asanda. I like to serve it with a roasted corn salad and steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

My tween daughter eats very little meat, she prefers beans to be her main source of protein. I created this recipe specifically with her in mind. Tex-Mex is always a big hit with the whole family. I pulled this one together in less than 5 minutes and popped it in the oven. I served it with a corn salad, a side salad or broccoli would be just as delicious.
When making this recipe I used a prepackaged taco seasoning mix, I wanted to keep things super simple. It’s better for you and contains less sodium if you make your own, here is the link to my sisters go to recipe Homemade Spicy Taco Seasoning.
I love that this recipe contains pantry staples that I typically keep on hand, allowing me to throw this together whenever the mood strikes. It’s also a budget friendly meal, coming in around $5 for the whole pan. For my family of three this will serve us dinner more than once, I plan on using it as a quesadilla filling later in the week, yummy!
