For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a diced jalapeño pepper when sautéing the onion and bell pepper. To prevent sticking, you can lightly grease the casserole dish before adding the rice mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the simmering mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
