The ingredients for Layered Taco Caserole are:

1c White Rice
1T Shedd's Spread Country Crock
1t Chili Powder
1t Cumin
1t Onion Powder
1t Garlic Powder
2c Water
1c Cheese Sauce/Dip in jar
1lb Lean Ground Beef
1/2c chopped onion
1 small can Tomato Sauce
1 package Taco Seasoning
1 can Black Beans (drained)
2 small Tomatoes
1/2c Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Here is how you make Layered Taco Caserole:

Melt margarine in a small saucepan and add rice and spices; stir together, and cook for a few minutes. Add water and bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 25 minutes. While rice is cooking, brown beef until no longer pink, and add onion; sweat until translucent. Add tomato sauce, and taco seasoning, and reduce heat to low while rice finishes cooking. Chop tomatoes (you could probably substitute chunky salsa here if you wanted to add a bit more flavor). When rice is done cooking, combine with cheese dip (if you have a homemade cheddar cheese sauce, you could use that instead to cut down the sodium). Layer half the ingredients (rice, beans, tomatoes, and taco meat) in a medium sized baking dish (I think mine is 1.5L) then repeat, and cover with shredded cheddar. Cover and bake for 20 minutes or so.I made 8 servings with this, they're probably about 2 cups each.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NESSPARKER.
