Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup instant brown rice
1 cup water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, partly drained*
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) package extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4-1/2 cup hot sauce (I use Tabasco, but whatever)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

*What I mean by "partly drained" with the mushrooms is to let the water run out but don't press down with the lid to squeeze the water out.
Brown ground beef and onions together until beef is browned; drain most of excess liquid (don't go nuts, just get what you can with a spoon).
Prepare instant rice according to package directions: bring water to a boil, then add rice. Stir, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir, cover, and let sit an additional 5 minutes.
Reserve about 1/2 cup grated cheese; combine all the rest of the ingredients in a 2-quart casserole dish.
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes; sprinkle reserved cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes or until melted.
Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound lean ground beef (I used 93/7)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2-cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce (I use Hunt's)
1/2 cup chicken broth (I dissolved 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules in 1/2 cup boiling water)
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 cup cooked whole kernel corn
1 (8-ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese (2-cups), divided

Steps:

Lightly spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Partially brown ground beef seasoned with half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When meat starts to brown, stir in the onions and continue to cook until onions are tender, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and drain off any excess fat. Preheat oven to 350°F. Set the skillet back on the warm burner (no need to turn it on) and stir in the tomato sauce until incorporated, then stir in the broth. Stir in the rice, corn, additional seasonings to taste, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the remaining cup of cheese. Return to oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until hot and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
