Equipment

  • 5L slow cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg beef mince
  • 1 large red capsicum, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 30 gram sachet taco seasoning
  • 375 gram jar Enchilada sauce
  • 3 cups COOKED brown rice (see notes)
  • 2 cups grated cheese (Mexican blend is great, otherwise cheddar or tasty)

Instructions
 

  • Slow cook the mince, capsicum, onion and taco seasoning on low for 3hrs – breaking apart any meat lumps during or at end of this cooking time (I use a plastic potato masher for great results)
  • Add Enchilada sauce, stir through, continue cooking on low for an additional 1hr
  • Stir through cooked rice to combine well, flatten, then top with cheese and cook for an additional 15mins or until cheese well melted
  • Serve with a green leafy side salad
  • NOTES: I use one large 450g sachet of instant rice for 3 cups of cooked rice in 2.5mins.  We prefer brown rice but white would be ok too if your prefer :)
