Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
¾ cup water
1 package taco seasoning mix (such as Ortega®)
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

MEXICAN-STYLE BEEF CASSEROLE

From: "The Bean Cookbook" by Norma S. Upson (1982). Hearty and filling. Brown rice usually takes about 45 minutes so I'm including that in the cooking time. *If you would like some heat or a chile flavor consider adding tabasco, jalapenos or diced mild green chilies. I just made this with salsa instead of tomatoes and added black pepper. I was very pleased with the results. A simple flavored hearty meal. I'm used to mexican dishes having cumin and it may work with this but I liked it being different and it may appeal to people who don't like cumin. I think black olives and bell pepper would be good in it too. Some people may also want to add layers of cheese but I was really surprised at how good it was without it. To cut down the fat more you could cook the onions with the ground beef and skip the butter.
