Ingredients
- ½ lb. extra-lean ground beef or ground turkey breast, or ground chicken breast; at least 93% lean
- ½ cup long grain white rice uncooked
- ½ cup onion or about ½ of a small onion, diced, frozen, diced
- 1 Sweet Bell Pepper medium, any color, diced
- 1 diced tomatoes 14.5 ounces, drained
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- In the bottom of the prepared dish, arrange uncooked beef, uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes. Break up the meat into small pieces with your fingers as you spread it around so that it cooks evenly throughout. Use your hands to gently combine everything.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato sauce, garlic, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Pour over the beef mixture.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil, stir everything, and cover with foil again. Return dish (covered) to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until meat, rice and vegetables are fully cooked and tender. If using a glass or ceramic baking dish, you may need to increase the baking time.
- Remove foil. Sprinkle top of casserole with shredded cheese. Place in the oven uncovered for about 3-5 more minutes, or just until the cheese melts.
Notes
- Cooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half and bake the casserole in a small 1-quart baking dish. The cooking time should remain the same, or may need to be shortened by about 5 minutes.
