Another one of those "been in the family" dishes. It's a good vegetarian main dish, a great tex-mex side dish and great for potluck meals.

TEXAS RICE



Texas Rice image

It is not known where this recipe originated, but it has been used as a hot dish on outings and potlucks for at least 30 years. Rice and ground beef in tomato sauce, baked under a layer of shredded cheese. A great way to feed several with hamburger, and easy to keep on hand ingredients. Leftovers can be made into quick roll-ups by microwaving in a tortilla.
