Mexican Ham Casserole Recipe
This Mexican Ham Casserole is a complete meal with a twist filled with Spanish rice, diced ham, salsa, and black beans! I highly recommend serving it topped with crushed Doritos once it is on your plate. It is easy to make and loaded with flavor, and has only 8 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 ¼ cups water
- 6 ounce box Spanish rice mix
- 16 ounces chunky salsa
- 15 ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups diced ham
- 2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional – crushed Doritos, cilantro, and sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- 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, for 20 minutes or 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.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve topped with crushed Doritos and cilantro, sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked chicken, or cooked ground beef in place of the diced ham.
