Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Uncooked white rice
- 1 cup Corn kernels
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Layer the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle the corn kernels on top of the rice.
Add a layer of diced green bell pepper over the corn.
Next, layer the chopped onion evenly over the green bell pepper.
Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the onion layer.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) evenly over the beef.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce and water together. Pour the mixture evenly over all the layers in the casserole dish.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes.
After 75 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
