One-Pan Texas Hash

Before we proceed to our Texas Hash recipe, let me forewarn you that the recipe makes A LOT. Like, easily-feed-a-hungry-crowd A LOT! This is really not a problem in my house even though it’s only the two of us at home as G and I literally gobble ultimate rice casserole up like there’s no tomorrow and we love the leftovers if any, just as much.

You can, of course, easily halve the recipe to fit your family’s appetite or make the whole batch like I do and freeze the rest for future meals. Pack in resealable bags or airtight containers and thaw for a few hours before reheating.

You can warm up individual servings quickly in the microwave by covering the plate with a wet paper towel to prevent from drying out. For larger portions, I recommend reheating in the oven to prevent cold spots along with overcooked sections. Make sure to flick a few drops of water on the surface of the casserole and cover the dish tightly with foil to trap in moisture.

This Texas Hash casserole not only makes great leftovers, but it’s also customizable as well. While I find 2 pounds of ground beef to 3 cups of uncooked rice ratio a happy medium for me who prefers rice over the beef and G who is all about the meat, I’ve seen recipes that call for as much as 2 pounds of meat per 1 cup of uncooked rice!

I use crushed tomatoes and a healthy sprinkling of chili powder to pull mine together but I’ve also tried one version using cream of mushroom and it’s just as scrumptious! So, yes, feel free to adjust ingredients and seasonings to suit your tastes. πŸ™‚

This beef and rice casserole is the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights. It’s easy to make, comes together with simple ingredients and cooks up in one pan. You get a hearty and delicious meal the family will love in 30 minutes or less!

For a successful rice casserole, we need perfectly cooked rice. Nothing ruins this dish in my opinion thanΒ rice that’s mushy or underdone.

Tips on How to Cook the Rice Perfectly:

  • We like Jasmine rice at home and I find 1 1/2 cups liquid to 1 cup uncooked rice ratio yields the perfect texture for this long grain rice. Want to swap brown rice? Increase liquid to 2 cups per 1 cup of uncooked rice.
  • Use a large enough cookware to allow enough space for the rice to expand. Make sure it has a tight-fitting lid so the steam doesn’t escape.
  • After the rice is done, allow it to sit covered for about 5 minutes before fluffing for the rice to absorb the extra moisture.

I like to garnish it with chopped cilantro for a little pump of color but you can also top it with shredded cheese and pop it in the oven for a minute or two until the cheese is bubbly. Either way, it’s amazing!

    I am a little confused with the recipe, and have two questions;
    #1. The instructions on number one it mentions heating the oil but in the ingredients it doesn’t list how much or what type of oil?
    #2. In the instructions # 5 it says to add crushed tomatoes and in the ingredients it’s listed as 14.5 oz. of diced tomatoes?
    Just need a little clarification. So I can make sure I get the correct ingredients. I would love to make this for my dad for dinner this week. I would appreciate your assistance, thank you for your time.

    This looks delicious. I had never thought about using rice in a hash instead of potatoes. That is super handy especially since I have rice all the time.
