Mexican Goulash

This is my all-time favorite dish from my mom’s recipe book.

We grew up calling it “Mexican Goulash”.. but now that I’m an adult and have made actual Goulashes, I realize that the name of this dish is not actually accurate! If you know what this dish is really called, please let me know in the comments!

What you’ll need:

– 1 large can of peeled potatoes (Or you can boil and peel your own, about 3-4)

– 1 large onion

– 1 tbs butter

– 1/4 cup uncooked rice

– 1 can red kidney beans

– 1 can tomato sauce

– 8 oz of shredded cheese (I recommend the Mexican blend)

Steps:

Preheat your oven to either 350 or 400, depending on your cook time.

Slice the potatoes thinly and cover the bottom of your greased/sprayed baking dish with one layer of slices.

Chop your onion and sauté in butter over medium heat in a skillet. Stir often, cook until translucent. Layer onions over potatoes in the baking dish.

Add rice and beans over onions. 

Pour can of tomato sauce into a bowl. Fill tomato can with water and pour into the tomato sauce and mix. Once combined, pour tomato mixture over rice and beans.

Cover and cook at 350 for 2 hours or at 400 for 1 hour. Take out and cover with cheese. Cook for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
