Description

A wonderful blend of vegetables, rice and ground beef. All you need is a crisp green salad and a nice warm loaf of sourdough bread to top it all off.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup uncooked instant rice
1 pound lean ground beef
2 onions, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (8 3/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
salt and pepper to taste
3 slices processed American cheese

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart (8 inch round) casserole dish.
2 In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in instant rice, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3 In a medium skillet over high heat, brown ground beef with onions and green pepper. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and chili powder. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4 Stir cooked rice into the beef mixture. Mix in the corn, salt and pepper.
5 Pour the mixture into prepared casserole dish. Cut the American cheese slices in half and place over the top.
6 Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
