This easy‚ one pan Taco Rice recipe is a whole meal in one. Ground beef‚ taco seasonings‚ salsa‚ rice and cheese. A family favorite meal! AN ENTIRE MEAL IN ONE PAN If there is one item I always tell new cooks to keep in their pantry – is rice. Especially quick-cooking rice like Minute Rice. It can be pulled out and added or mixed with so many other meals and it’s easy to get creative with. It beefs up meal time to make it more filling and you can add just about any flavor to it. What I love about this recipe is you don’t even need to cook the rice first – it all gets cooked up together so you can make this all in one pan without dirtying up a bunch of dishes! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S) What is Taco Rice? It is a simple recipe made with ground beef that has been seasoned with taco seasoning. Rice‚ salsa and shredded cheese are then added. What do you serve with taco rice? This taco rice is very filling on its own but you can serve it as a side to Layered Taco Bake or Mexican Lasagna! I think it would also go well with either White Chicken Enchiladas or Ground Beef Enchiladas. How do you store leftovers? Leftover Taco Rice should be stored in a covered container for up to 3 days. To reheat‚ sprinkle just a little bit of water on to the rice then microwave until warm (the extra water keeps the rice from drying out as it reheats.) Can long grain rice be used? You can but this recipe was made specifically created for quick cooking rice. I have not tested it with long grain rice. You may need a bit more water if using long grain rice and there would be a longer cooking time. How should this rice be served? We like to top it with some sour cream‚ shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes (and a little extra shredded cheese! I think this would even be absolutely delicious if it is wrapped up in a burrito with the toppings added. Can taco rice be frozen? Yes. Rice should be put in a freezer safe container where it will keep up to 3 months. Put into the refrigerator to defrost then warm up using directions above. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) ground beef – you can use pork‚ chicken or ground turkey. taco seasoning – you can use a packet seasoning or make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning. Minute Rice quick cooking rice – see my FAQs above on this one. salsa – my favorite salsa is Herdez mild salsa. It’s important you use a salsa you enjoy eating. You can even use a spicy salsa if you want to kick this up a notch. shredded cheddar cheese – if you want to make it spicier‚ try using a pepper jack cheese. HOW TO MAKE TACO RICE In a large skillet‚ brown and crumble ground beef. Drain excess grease. Add in taco seasoning and water. Stir well and allow mixture to come to a boil. Turn down heat‚ then add in uncooked Minute Rice and stir. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes (until rice is tender.) Then remove lid and stir in salsa and cheese. Turn off heat and it’s ready to serve. If I am making this a whole meal‚ I will usually serve it topped with some sour cream‚ lettuce and diced tomatoes. You could even serve it wrapped in a tortilla. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Lemon Magic Cake is a simple layered cake featuring a cake layer and a pudding layer that is surprisingly made from only one batter! A VERY SIMPLE HOMEMADE LEMON CAKE This Lemon Magic Cake is the perfect dessert that brings pops of spring and warmth to your dessert table. I love that you only need a handful of ingredients to make this Lemon Cake from scratch yet it looks very decadent like it came from a high end bakery. The batter ‘magically’ separates itself into two layers (a pudding layer and a cake layer.) This is one of those cakes you can easily whip up and it will totally impress your guests! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Why is it called ‘magic cake’? The magic is in the magical batter. As it bakes‚ it separates into a cake layer and a pudding‚ almost custard like layer. What toppings can I add? I used powdered sugar with a raspberry for a pop of red color‚ but you could add a dollop of whipped cream‚ add a few other berries‚ or serve with just the powdered sugar. Any and all toppings would be divine. What kind of mixer is that in your pictures? I used this Bosch Stand Mixer (paid affiliate link). However‚ this one can be pricey‚ and any stand mixer or electric hand mixer will work just fine. I like to share about the Bosch one because so many people ask about it when they see the photos. It is a nice mixer‚ but honestly‚ I think it is overpriced. It just looks cool. Can I use different citrus flavors? Sure‚ this is an easily adaptable dessert. Instead of lemon‚ try orange or lime. Can I make this Magic Lemon Cake ahead of time? Yes. I’d say you can make this up to a day in advance to make sure you still have the best flavor. How to store leftovers? This cake can be left on the counter (covered) for up to 2 days or keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Can this recipe be doubled? I am sure it could but I have not tested it and couldn’t tell you how long it would take to bake. If you try it‚ please be sure to come back and comment below! Can this cake be frozen? Yes. As long as you wrap it well to protect against freezer burn‚ it can be frozen for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) HOW TO MAKE LEMON MAGIC CAKE Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat an 8×8-inch baking dish or springform pan with non-stick spray‚ or line with parchment paper.  Separate egg whites from egg yolks. Beat whites in a mixing bowl on medium high speed‚ until they reach stiff peaks‚ about 2 minutes. If using a stand mixer‚ remove beaten egg whites into another bowl and set aside. Then add egg yolks with the sugar into the mixing bowl and mix until light in color‚ scraping the bowl. About 2 minutes. Add melted (and slightly cooled) butter and beat together for a minute or so.  Sift flour into mixture‚ and blend at medium speed‚ scraping the bowl. Add lemon juice‚ lemon extract and zest‚ and mix together. Gradually add warmed milk‚ and blend together‚ scraping the bowl. The batter will be very thin. Add the fluffy egg whites (a third at a time)‚ and gently fold them in with a spatula. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for approx. 50 minutes‚ or until top is a light golden color‚ and cake is firm to the touch. Check in 5 to 10 minutes before‚ to ensure it doesn’t overbake.   Allow the cake to cool before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar and top with additional lemon zest (optional).

There are some big deals on survival gear and prepping supplies in Amazon’s first big sale of the year: their Big Spring Sale. At this point‚ Amazon typically has three large sales each year of their own‚ and then they also participate in Black Friday. It’s been a while since Black Friday‚ and this is the biggest sale they’ve run since the Christmas season. With spring around the corner and manufacturers with plenty of winter supplies to close out‚ there is a good mix of outdoor survival‚ garden‚ energy‚ and food storage deals prime for the picking.
