Beef and Rice Mexican Casserole

1 lb ground meat
taco seasoning
1 pkg Spanish rice
1 15 oz can black beans OR ranch style beans, drained
1 cup of shredded cheese (2 or 3 cups if you like cheese, like me!)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brown the ground meat and drain. While the ground meat is cooking, make the rice according to the package instructions. Once the meat is done, mix in the taco seasoning per package instructions. When the rice is done, dump it in a casserole dish and add the meat and can of beans, and mix it all together. Top with the cheese, and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Yum! This is good on it's own, with tortilla chips, or with flour or corn tortillas, guacamole and/or sour cream.
