Hey guys!! I don’t know about you but I am always on the look out for quick dinners and anything that saves me some time in the kitchen. With two picky eater boys finding easy dinners that everyone will eat can be challenging.
This Cheesy Beefy Rice is always a weekly staple around my house. It is fast and easy but full of flavor.
Cheesy Green Chile Beef & Rice is my go to on any busy night. It comes together in minutes and is packed with flavor, but not spicy flavor so don’t let the name fool you. Green chiles are very mild, ridiculously mild and I do add pepper jack cheese which gives a pop of heat but it is still mild and you can use any cheese you prefer, cheddar or colby would be perfect here as well.
This may not be the prettiest dish on the block but it sure gets the job done! My picky eaters love it, my husband loves it, it is simple to make and comes together in one pan. It is a win win!!
The creamy, cheesy beef works so well over the fluffy rice, no wonder my family asks for this weekly!
You have to try this, it is perfect all year round, comes together quick so your kitchen doesn’t heat up in the summer and is hearty and warming on those cold winter nights. This meal is a year round stand by.
So next time you need a quick delicious dinner just whip up this Cheesy Green Chile Beef & Rice, your whole family will love it!
Do I have to use ground beef?
Of course not! You can substitute ground turkey, ground chicken, diced chicken, shredded chicken or go meatless and try beans!
My kids won’t touch anything spicy, how spicy is this?
Again the green chiles are so super mild, any spice comes from the pepper jack cheese so feel free to use colby, cheddar or monterey jack.
Can I make this in the slow cooker?
Yes!! One of my favorite things is browning the beef and throwing it and the other ingredients into the slow cooker on low for 4 hours. Then I just whip up the rice when we are ready to eat and dinner is done!
