Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef or sausage, browned
  • 1 1/2 c. sliced potatoes
  • 1 c. sliced carrots
  • 1 c. diced onion
  • 2 c. chopped tomatoes (juice included)
  • 1/2 c. raw rice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Method

  • Alternate layers of meat, vegetables and rice, making sure rice is not top layer or it will be too dry.
  • Sprinkle salt throughout layers and the sugar on top.
  • Cover and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in 350° oven, adding extra liquid as necessary to prevent excessive drying out.
  • I use canned tomatoes and juice.
  • I also have added 1 can drained whole kernel corn, chopped celery and when casserole is in the last 5 minutes of completion, I grate Cheddar cheese on top and let melt.
