It is not known where this recipe originated, but it has been used as a hot dish on outings and potlucks for at least 30 years. Rice and ground beef in tomato sauce, baked under a layer of shredded cheese. A great way to feed several with hamburger, and easy to keep on hand ingredients. Leftovers can be made into quick roll-ups by microwaving in a tortilla.
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 (28 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Combine rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings, crumble and set aside. Add ground beef, green pepper, and onion to the skillet; cook over medium-high heat until the beef is evenly browned. Drain excess grease, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 4
Place beef and cooked rice into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Stir in the tomatoes, bacon and reserved drippings, mixing until everything is well blended. Spread the shredded cheese over the top.
Step 5
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is bubbly, and the center is heated through.
