This Burrito Casserole is the ultimate comfort food. My entire family devoured this recipe and it’s made with all gluten-free ingredients, you only need one skillet or baking dish to make it and it is great for meal prep!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Heat a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil and onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until browned a bit
Next add your beef and break it up with a wooden spoon
Sauté for 4-5 minutes then stir in taco seasonings and cook until browned
Strain any excess fat if desired then add in beans, rice, salsa and broth and stir
Cover with foil and bake in oven for about 40-45 minutes until everything is softened and liquid is almost absorbed
Remove foil then bake for 10 minutes uncovered until liquid is fully absorbed
Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until melted (about 5-6 minutes!) I like to broil at the end but totally optional
Serve while warm with desired toppings

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 5 days or freezer for 2 months
