Taco rice casserole

If you are looking for an easy dinner then this Taco casserole recipe is one you just have to try today! Remember, my freezer cooking adventure where I made 16 meals for the freezer? Well this easy taco casserole recipe was one of them, and it was a huge hit.

My husband practically licks the pan clean when I make it. It is seriously that good!

My recipe below is for 2 meals. Why? That way you can make one to eat now, and then the other one goes in the freezer. One mess, but you get 2 meals.

If you don’t want to do that, just cut the recipe in half. However, why wouldn’t you want to? You hardly have to do any extra work to make a second one.

To be honest, I normally make 4 of these taco casseroles because they freeze so great and they make a busy weeknight so much easier. Make this Cinco De Mayo Recipe for a Easy Mexican Recipes.

Time saving tip:

Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions and bell peppers.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you make cooking so fast and easy.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen! Lots of the recipes we cook call for onions and peppers so this is such a great time tip that we use frequently.

You will love having peppers and onions all ready to go! It is quick and easy.

Everyone will enjoy taco rice casserole!

This recipe will surprise you. It doesn’t seem like much, but it has some amazing flavor. We served it with salad to make it a complete meal.

If you want, you could add some crushed tortilla chips on top before you serve it. YUM! My husband even likes to top his with lettuce and fresh tomatoes to make almost like a taco salad. Green onions are also amazing.

If you need Taco Dinner Ideas, this casserole is a great option to serve.

You can use white rice or brown rice in the casserole. Both are delicious.

However your family eats it, I think you will love it. Make one for dinner and one for the freezer. You will thank me later. 🙂

It is also a great meal to take to someone recovering from surgery or with a new baby. You can grab one from the freezer and bless them with a great meal.

Let us know once you try it and how it turns out for you. It is sure to be a hit with everyone!

    Well…. I tried it using “instant rice” – which said “pre-cooked” on the box – so I didn’t bother to cook the rice before I started the recipe. I figured that the liquids from the other ingredients would soften/cook it for me. I was wrong. Cook the rice first! Mine came out hard/uncooked. I’ve added some water to the pan and I’m reheating it in hopes that the rice will soften. Also, I layered Tater Tots on the top and topped them with a Mexican cheese also. That part came out really nice. I used one and a half packets of taco seasoning and some Tabasco to spice it up a bit more. I had some of the meat mixture left over and tried that on left over mashed potatoes. Very good!

  2. 5 stars
    Yummy, healthy, I added chopped peppers and a can of tomato sauce before covering with cheese. Crowd pleaser.

  3. Thank you for this recipe! I absolutely *love* it! However, I use two packets of taco seasoning when I double it. One packet was very bland. Not sure if that’s a typo?

  4. 5 stars
    My husband said I could make this casserole anytime! He loved it. I made two and gave one to a new mom and her family. Great recipe. Easy and so delicious!

  5. 5 stars
    I don’t usually comment on recipes but just had to with this one. This is easy, healthy, and delicious. We love it with salad, sour cream, our favorite salsa, and tortilla chips (would be great with guacamole, too). My whole family loves it. I just made a pan to take to a family who had lost a loved one- that family eats gluten free and I use a gluten free taco seasoning; the recipe is written perfectly to make a meal for someone else and my own family at the same time.
    I have tried a lot of recipes from food blogs, and this is definitely one of the biggest hits in my family. And I just love how quick and easy it is. Looking forward to trying other recipes from this website!

  6. 5 stars
    Changed it to brown rice, it’s oh so good. The only down fall is that when you get down to the last bites on your plate the rice corn beans and tomatoes/chilies separate a bit so you will need a spoon to finish it off…. Unless you lick your plate.

  7. 5 stars
    OMG so very yummy. Even my picky eater said its aake again. I used salsa instead of the tomato and chilly in a can. PS I did not have it to Begin with. The flavor is on point.

  8. 5 stars
    My family loved this so much that there were no leftovers! I am going to cook and serve the extra freezer one this time and see how that works. Thank you!

  9. 4 stars
    I halved the recipe. I mixed the rice meat and cheese together. It seemed a little dry for our taste so I added another envelope of taco seasoning and 8 ounces of tomato sauce. Topped with more cheese and baked. My husband liked it a lot.

  10. 5 stars
    Exelllent!!! I cut the whole recipe in half with 1 pond of ground turkey. I replaced the crushed tomatoes with a real tomato, chopped by hand. I always season my rice. I used uncle bens whole grain brown rice, generous shake of Adobo with pepper and tumeric ( to make the rice yellow and add health benefits) and to make the rice firmer for the baking portion I used one cup of rice and 1 and a 1/2 cups of vegetable vegetable broth, cook for 18 min. I added shredded pepper jack and a mixed blend of shredded taco cheeses. Topped with Gaucamole and thin totilla chips on the side for scooping. My hobby said it was in his top 5!

  11. 5 stars
    I halved this recipe to make 2 8×8 pans for 3 of us. I did make some changes that worked great for us. I increased the rice once I tried to use 1 cup in each 8×8 pan…it just wasn’t enough. I used more like 1 1/2 cups in each pan. I also added in diced yellow bell pepper and black olives. I sprinkled dairy free cheddar cheese on top. We served this over tortilla chips and topped with salsa, plain dairy free yogurt instead of sour cream and shredded lettuce. We all loved it so much! Can’t wait to eat the pan in the freezer!

  12. 5 stars
    This is a new family favorite. I did sub pinto beans for black beans. Turned out great didn’t get to freeze the 2nd pan we did 2nd and 3rd night!

  13. Made this but didn’t make two I just put everything as listed in one of those aluminum disposable lasagna pans and it was just right. I made for my niece who just had a baby to help them with dinners. Was able to make one little dish on the side to try and it was really good. Just topped with sour cream.

  14. 5 stars
    Very easy to put together and fast. We loved it! Served it with shredded lettuce, sour cream and tortilla chips on the side. Wonderful! Thank you!

  15. 5 stars
    This was amazingly delicious, I made a double batch and gave my children each a tray, we ate one and froze one at home, super easy, tasty , can add anything else you like in it to change it up, I served shredded lettuce, jalapeños, and sour cream also with it and Tostitos, great meal to give someone you want to give a food dish to and serve it in 9×13 foil pan

  16. 5 stars
    My family loves this recipe and we make it often! It’s so delicious and so easy!!!

  17. 5 stars
    This is one of our favorite freezer meals! We doubled it so we could have 3 casseroles in the freezer for the weeks after my baby was born.

  18. This is my favorite recipe. It is easy to make and so delicious. My family loves it.

  19. 5 stars
    I made this recipe for a ladies Bible study group and it was such a hit that I printed out multiple copies for the ladies. My husband loved it also but he’s easy to please. As a side note, I added a brick of cream cheese after the meat mixture was cooked to make it a little creamy.

  20. 5 stars
    This turned out so good! I cut the recipe in half. Used ground turkey, seasoned it while cooking with onion powder and garlic powder, and then I added chopped green bell pepper with the onion. I used the entire packet of taco seasoning even though I cut the recipe in half. I kept everything else the same! Well, I used no salt added black beans because that’s what I had in my pantry. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  21. 5 stars
    Great recipe, thanks for reminding me of it with Secret #2. Since it is just my husband and me this actually makes enough for FOUR dinners! The last time I made it I made a half recipe and froze it in small casserole dishes 8-1/2″x6 that are the perfect size for two people.

  22. 5 stars
    I love this recipe! For my small family, I can get two casseroles out of this recipe. Lots of flavor, inexpensive to make, and it also freezes really well!

  23. 5 stars
    Love this recipe! So easy to make. I actually substituted saffron yellow rice and it was delicious!

  24. 5 stars
    I make this casserole often…I’ve used ground beef, ground turkey and shredded chicken. They all work great in this!

  25. 5 stars
    I have made this recipe several times. A great way to have taste of tacos without the mess. Always a favorite in our home.

  26. Sorry, I’ll update that in the post so that it’s more clear – I use 2 Tbsp of the homemade seasoning.

  27. I have scanned through all the messages and do not see this question.

    How much of your Homemade Taco Seasoning do you use?

    Thanks, looking forward to trying this but I don’t want to add too much seasoning.

  28. You could reduce the recipe in half and make 2 9X9 casseroles instead of the 9X13 ones. Each casserole would serve approximately 3 instead of 6.

  29. Each casserole serves 6 and this recipe is to make 2 casserole so the entire recipe makes 12. These last in the freezer for 3-6 months.

  30. I’m caring for my mom with cancer and am trying to get some individual freezer meals planned for her. How many single servings does this make? And how long will it last in the freezer? I am eagerly waiting for your response. Thank you.

  31. 5 stars
    I have made this several times, it is so good and easy to make. I always make 2 and freeze one for later.

  32. 5 stars
    I just made this on 12-23-20, and my entire family loved it. We had leftovers for Christmas Eve. It was so delicious my family had it with tortilla chips, but I paired it with a garden salad, and it was delicious, simple to make, and I will make it again.

  33. 5 stars
    Made this for the family and it was a huge hit!! Everyone loved it. I have made it several times since as the kids request it. We are a big family so I live that it makes two pans. There is very little to none leftover. Two thumbs up from my family!!!

  34. 5 stars
    I found this recipe in an email a few weeks ago and thought I would give it a try. It was a HIT!!! It is so versatile! I live in a house full of boys, some picky, some will eat shoe leather. Everyone loved it! I personally put it on a bed of lettuce and topped it with ranch for a salad…YUMMY! One of my kids put it on a plate of tortilla chips and topped with more cheese. My other boys ate it as suggested. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you!!!

  35. 5 stars
    If Rotel is too spicy, try a can of diced tomatoes and a can of mild, diced Ortega Chilies. They add flavor but not as much heat.

  36. I made this recipe tonight, but I put the casserole in my Corningware rectangular casserole dishes, so I ended up with three full dishes – two for the freezer! I added a chopped bell pepper (cooked with the onion) and some frozen spinach. Also, I use frozen corn kernels, so there is no draining or rinsing needed. I just throw it in frozen. As I have a six-year-old for whom everything is too spicy, I subbed out the Rotel and used two cans of petite diced tomatoes instead (not drained). It worked very well, and the liquid from the tomatoes helped to keep the casserole as a whole from drying out but not getting soupy. My husband (who hates tomatoes) and my 6yo both ate it up, and the little one exclaimed how good it was! Woohoo!

  37. I would start with 30 minutes and check it to make sure it’s heated through and then add more time if needed. Thank you!

  38. What would the cook time be if I used smaller pans like 4 instead being it’s for an older couple. After freezing

  39. 5 stars
    Love this recipe. I used brown rice, and it’s great.

    Question- did you mean KCal or just calories? A kcal is 1000 x’s a calorie, making it about 256,000 calories! Eek!

  40. 5 stars
    My husband and I really like this recipe! We use brown rice (I sprinkle cumin over the rice before layering the meat mixture) and I’ve made it with ground beef, chicken and turkey. I had frozen chopped red, yellow and orange peppers that I added this time for a pop of color and flavor. I like a recipe that other than cooking the rice (which I did before hand) takes maybe half an hour start to finish. Such an easy recipe to assemble and easier to customize to your taste – I’ve never made it the same way twice.

    I’m glad for such a simple recipe, especially given the times we’re in. My trips to the store are few and far between so I stock up and make as many meals as I can after each trip.

    I didn’t have a problem with it being dry – but it’s nothing a little salsa or sour cream can’t fix :).

    Thanks for such a good, easy recipe!

  41. Hello! Do you drain the grease from the ground beef and also do you the water called for in the taco seasoning pack? Thank you!

  42. I used cauliflower rice and it turned out amazing! One of my new favorites!!! Thank you!

  43. I can imagine all sorts of substituting depending on my mood. & or whats on hand…
    Adding meat i e. Poultry , beef, steak, sausage, shrimp…
    Salad , avocados
    tortillas, hard , soft , scoops
    Sour cream, salsas, quesos , etc.
    Yellow rice

  44. I have a very small family so I was thinking about using smaller pans and making a total of four meals. One to eat that night and three for the freezer. What size would you recommend? I was thinking maybe 9inch pie pans.

  45. We are watching our salt intake, so we make our own taco seasoning. Using no salt. We also love diced green peppers on tacos so I am going to either ad d some to the baked product or top it off at serving time. Check I will probably do both!

  46. When you add the taco seasoning to the hamburger do you add the water like it calls for on the back of the seasoning packet?

  47. I made this today, added 1 jalapeño pepper, put 2 cups of Mexican cheese on each pan, used cut up chicken breasts (I used 3 lbs because that’s what was in my package, Cooked my own black beans and used 2 cups, keyed it all in FitnessPal and came up with 318 calories with a portion size being 1/8th of a pan. It is very tasty, will definitely make again!

  48. Hi Carrie 🙂
    Your recipe sounds absolutely delicious! Excited to try it, sent a copy off to both my Sister as well. 😉
    Getting the ingredients today to make it on this chilly weekend.
    I’ll be back to comment but from the recipe and reviews I can’t imagine it being less than 5 shiny gold stars!!
    Thanks for sharing with us Carrie. Looking forward to trying out more of your recipes!
    Elizabeth ?

  49. Hi Carrie! Do you ever have any issues with freezer burn? This recipe looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you ???

  50. What is the serving size? You list the calories per serving but not the serving size.
    Thank you.

  51. These recipe makes 2 9X13 pans and I think that it would be plenty for 12 people. I would serve it with chips and salsa and/or queso. Yummy! Thank you!

  52. I prepare the casserole and freeze the casserole before cooking. I defrost in the refrigerator the night before I plan on cooking it. Thank you.

  53. I’m planning to make this tonight after reading all the reviews in was curious if you drain the corn. I read that you do not rinse it, but does it get drained. Can’t wait to try this!

  54. 4 stars
    This looks reallllly good – but… as has been asked several times and never answered – how much is a serving?

  55. Could you use this as a dip with chips? I have to bring one to a party and this looks delish. Maybe with some sour cream?

  56. 4 stars
    I made two pans of this – one following the half recipe with ground beef and rice and the other I used cauliflower rice and Gardein beefless ground beef instead and added in green chiles and cumin to the cauli-rice to add some flavor and chopped green pepper to the “beef” mixture, then I let my family try both! They both were tasty and having toppings of sour cream, guacamole, salsa etc help add some moisture and more flavor!

  57. HAVE to try this! When freezing do I mix the items and freeze before cooking or do I cook first?

  58. I have to provide dinner for 12 – six of those being men. Do you think this is really enough for 6 couples or should I do one and a half recipes just to be safe? If I did that, would it still fit in 2 9×13 pans?

  59. No, I cover it with foil and freeze it before baking it. Than, I allow it thaw overnight prior to baking it. Thank you!

  60. Do you bake this before you freeze it if you’re planning on freezing it?

  61. You could add tortilla chips to the final product or quarter corn tortillas and put those in instead. Thank you.

  62. We’re two old retired people with nothing to do and all day to do it and I still love advance meal planning. In fact, we just recently bought a chest freezer to make it easier. For small households like ours, freezing things in serving sized meal prep containers is the way to go. Bed Bath and Beyond and Wal-Mart both have a wide selection. Just be sure to buy genuine freezer tape to label everything so you don’t wind up with UFOS (Unidentified Frozen Objects). I’ve added this casserole to my recipe stash. It’s a much better version of something I make frequently already.

  63. The rice is cooked before it’s topped with everything. I used plain white rice for this recipe. Thank you!

  64. You cook the rice first right then add it to everything?
    & just plain white rice or Mexican rice?

  65. This is such a family friendly recipe. We keep it in the freezer and bring it to families needing support (for health reasons, new babies, or just extra love). Everyone raves.

  66. I usually rinse my beans as it would change the color of the casserole but I do not rinse the corn and the Rotel.

  67. Hello, I have never used shredded zucchini before. Does it need to be squeezed out a little or just put in right after shredding? Thanks!

  68. I don’t drain them. I put the entire can in. I hope you try it again this way and let me know how it turns out. Thank you!

  69. 4 stars
    My family really enjoyed this dish. I found it to be a bit dry. I drained the cans of tomatoes. We’re they suppose to be drained?

  70. Patty – This recipe makes 2 casseroles. 2 cups of rice are put in the bottom of each 9X13 pans. Thank you!

  71. Going to make this tonight- However I do not have corn but I have string beans either way do I need to put that in and I will be using fresh tomatoes because I don’t have canned tomatoes is this OK

  72. It was so easy and so awesome ??? Had left overs and going to put in corn tortillas ??

  73. If you make for a 13x9x2 would you still cut receipe in half? Also, would you cut taco season in half or use whole envelope?

  74. Kimberly – You can cook from frozen but you’ll need to add another 30-45 minutes to the total cook time. Thank you!

  75. I was gonna cook this tonight but forgot to thaw overnight. Can it go from freezer to oven? If so, what temperature and for how long?

  76. 5 stars
    This looks great! I’m expecting my first baby this coming February and am looking for easy freeze ahead meals and this one tops the list! 🙂

    How long would you say this keeps frozen well?

    Thank you-Kenz

  77. 5 stars
    I have made this several times. My family loves it. I do use 6 cups of though so it isn’t so soupy. It does freeze really well!

  78. 5 stars
    I have made this 2 times now and it is so good and very easy to make. We do not like Rotel so I use picante’ sauce instead. I also serve with tortilla chips and may actually try soft tortillas to make burritos. Also would like to try to substitute shredded rotisserie chicken.

  79. Adrienne, I don’t have a problem at all. In fact, I freeze rice all the time. You just want to make sure you don’t over cook it before you freeze it.

  80. I’ve read that rice doesn’t freeze well, gets gummy. Do you have any problems with it?

  81. 5 stars
    Love, love, love this recipe! Not mention super easy. We ate it over a bed of lettuce, topped with sour cream and avocado~kinda like a rice bowl.

  82. Hi, just to clarify…do you bake both pans and then freeze one, or do you do all the steps except baking it before putting it in the freezer?

  83. I made this last night. It was great. But I forgot to add the rotel and had it in the pans ready to go so I scraped half of each Meat mixture out and mixed in a can of rotel with each half and put it back on the rice. So I ended up with 2 pans half with rotel and half without! Worked with my picky kids!! 🙂 VERY Good Thanks

  84. I just made this last night as a last resort thing. It was so delicious! I only made half the recipe and was able to do two small casseroles so I have one in the freezer waiting for a rainy day. Thank You. It is great having a go to recipe sight that is guaranteed to be frugal.

  85. I made a little too much chicken in the crock pot last weekend, so I shredded it and used it in this recipe instead of need. Froze and reheated deliciously!!!! Thank you!!! I have one more in the freezer and am looking forward to having it again soon!
