This is not a casserole we grew up with. It's a crazy, verging on ridiculous, skillet of beautiful cheesy rice covered with tortillas chips and nacho cheese sauce.
At first bite, it tastes like an amazing beef burrito. So much cheesy rice! When you go in for another bite and get more topping, you realize that, really, it's like eating loaded nachos. Then your taste buds focus on the sauce. "Am I actually eating an enchilada?" you'll wonder.
Though there's a lot going on flavor-wise in this recipe, there's not a ton of extra work. Before baking, everything is done in one skillet 바카라 게임 웹사이트 sautéing onions, cooking the beef and simmering the sauce. If you make sure the rice is cooked beforehand, you're golden.
The blanket of nacho cheese sauce may sound excessive, but it's not. Topping the chips with shredded cheddar just wouldn't compare. Don't worry too much about the level of decadence getting out of hand. Each serving only gets a drizzle, and the nacho bites are the best.
