One-Pot recipes are definitely a favorite around here.  You can find plenty of them on this blog!  This One-Pot Beef Taco Rice is a new favorite to add to our collection!

It’s perfect for busy weeknights and the best part is the rice cooks right in with all the rest of the ingredients.  So it’s a huge bonus when you don’t have to clean that rice pot folks!

Tips for Making this One-Pot Beef Taco Rice:

• I use a large 12 -inch non-stick skillet with a lid.  This is similar to the one I have and I use it all the time!!
• Don’t keep checking the rice!  Let it do it’s thing and cook for a solid 20 minutes on a low fire before you check it.  Sometimes, long grain rice can take longer if you use that.  You may want to add a little more water (about 1/3 cup) and put the lid back on to cook a little longer if it’s not done after 20 or 25 minutes.
• Want it spicy?  Use HOT Rotel and add in some Pepperjack cheese.  You can also cook in some diced jalapenos when you brown your onions.
