MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Be sure to cook your rice if you haven't already (if you are just reading this and just now realized you don't have any cooked rice and don't want to wait, consider switching to quinoa, which cooks much more quickly than brown rice. Instant brown rice also works in a pinch).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large casserole dish (9x13 inch or similar) with nonstick spray and set aside.
• In a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

• Remove from the heat. Stir in the rice and Greek yogurt until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

MEXICAN-STYLE PORK AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and turn down to a simmer.
• Brown pork in a skillet over medium-high heat. Do this in batches so as not to crowd your pan. Remove pork to a 9" x 13" casserole dish.
• Saute your vegetables in the pork fat which has accumulated in your skillet, scraping the pan to get all the good stuff.
• Add rice and stir to coat grains with fat; then add tomato paste, spices and salt and stir to combine.
• Add rice mixture to pork in casserole.
• Pour most of the water over the pork and rice, saving about 1/2 cup to deglaze your skillet. Pour water from skillet to casserole and stir to combine.
• Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven to bake about 45 minutes, until pork and rice are tender (don't check before 30 minutes).

INSTANT POT MEXICAN BEEF RICE CASSEROLE (FOR NACHOS LOVERS!)

Steps:

• Turn the Instant Pot on and press the Saute setting (it will say 30 mins, Normal - no need to change the time, it simply gives you a countdown clock). Once the bottom of the pot feels hot, add the olive oil and onions and cook for 1 minute to soften.
• Add the beef and salt and cook with the onions for 1-2 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula. Add the garlic and chili and stir through. Add the spices and stir, followed by chicken stock. Use the spatula to stir in the stock, scraping the bottom of the bottom from any bits that might have gotten stuck. This will prevent any potential burn errors. Press Cancel to stop the Saute process.
• Rinse the rice under cold water (4-5 times to remove excess starch) and strain. Add to the beef and stock and stir through. Pour the tomato sauce over the top and spread over the top but do not stir into the rice. Spread the corn and roasted red peppers over the top. The reason we are not stirring the tomato sauce into the rice is that sometimes having tomato-based foods at the bottom of the pot (especially when the liquid gets absorbed during cooking) can also result in a burn notice.
• At this stage, secure and lock and lid. Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting and adjust the time with - and + buttons to 5 minutes at HIGH pressure. In a few moments, the ON sign will come on indicating that the Instant Pot is building up the pressure, which will take about 5 minutes as well. The timer will start once the pressure is built up.
• While the rice and beef are cooking, prepare the guacamole, cheese and any other condiments you want to use.
• Once your 5 minutes are up, the display will change to a new timer indicating the depressurizing of the pot. Allow about 2-3 minutes for the pressure to release naturally and then use the steam releasing knob/handle on the top of the lid to manually let off the remaining pressure.
• Open the lid. You will see that most of the liquid and tomato sauce have been absorbed into the rice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top and cover the pot with a regular glass lid or a towel to keep the heat inside. Leave for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted. Finish with scrunched corn chips and fresh cilantro on top and you're ready to serve.
• From start to finish, the cooking time should be 5 minutes for Sauteing, 5-7 minutes to build up the pressure, 5 minutes cooking at pressure, 2-3 minutes natural release, 3-4 minutes for melting cheese on top.
• Serve the casserole in bowls with a side of guacamole, sou cream (if using) and extra corn chips. You can also add fresh salsa, extra jalapenos, raw onions etc.
