Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1/2 cup salsa verde (green chile sauce)
  • 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 12 ounces Colby Jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 can large black olives (sliced)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium skillet over medium, add ground beef and salt. Cook, until cooked through. Once it is cooked, add chipotle seasoning and stir to combine. Add water and cover. Simmer 15 minutes, remove cover and cook until water is cooked out. Set seasoned beef aside until needed.
  • In a medium casserole dish or heat safe bowl (I used a 1.75 quart). Spread refried beans into dish and add 4 ounces of the cheese. Mix to combine well.
  • Add cooked rice and spread evenly. Add salsa verde and smooth over the rice layer.
  • Sprinkle approximately 4 ounces cheese onto salsa verde layer. Sprinkle cooked beef evenly over cheese layer.
  • Add enchilada sauce and smooth evenly over the seasoned beef.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Arrange sliced olives on top of cheese.
  • Place dish on a small baking sheet and place in center of oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned (or up to 30 minutes if ingredients are cold).
  • Serve with chips.
