Tex Mex Casserole

1 lb. ground meat
2 cups cooked minute rice
1 packet of taco seasoning mix
I can diced tomatoes and chilies
1/2 cup of jalapeno peppers, sliced or chopped
Shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa

Brown ground meat and mix in taco seasoning according to packet directions. Cook minute rice (takes 5 minutes) and mix with tomatoes and chilies. Blend in taco meat to the rice mixture making it as moist or dry as you choose. Top with salsa, and shredded cheese. Warm it in the oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips!

I do a can of rotel instead of adding the peppers.
