Spanish Rice Casserole

Add the garlic and butter to a large skillet. Cook until the butter is melted.

Pour the water into the pan and add the rice mix and the salsa. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender.

Add the diced ham and rinsed black beans. Stir together.

Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread the ingredients evenly in the dish. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese.

Cover the baking dish with foil and transfer the dish to the oven and bake. Serve topped with crushed Doritos and cilantro, sour cream, if desired.
