Cajun-Style Beef and Beans image

I make this recipe for my husband for lunch. He loves the Cajun Style Sausage and Rice, however it plays havoc on his stomach at times but I found this recipe doesn't do that and he enjoys it almost as much. If you like cheese it also tastes very good with some sprinkled on the top after you remove it from the oven.

Time 1h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can red beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Add chopped onion to beef and cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, beans, tomatoes, and Cajun seasoning. Pour into a casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until hot, stirring once.
