This hearty, flavorful casserole brings everything together in one dish—black beans, seasoned beef, and rice—baked until tender and perfectly melded. It’s the kind of recipe you can assemble in minutes, pop in the oven, and walk away from while the magic happens. Serve it with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, a crisp arugula salad with lime vinaigrette, and extra lime wedges for a bright, fresh finish. Ideal for busy weeknights, potlucks, or cozy weekend dinners.
