Seven-Layer Beef Casserole
1 cup raw rice
2 small (about 6-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (15- to 16-ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
Finely chopped onion and/or bell pepper
1-1 1/4 pounds ground beef
2 slices bacon, cut in half
Layer ingredients in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish in the following order: the
rice, one can of tomato sauce, the corn with its liquid, the onion and/or
pepper; the ground beef (shape it into a large patty); the other can of tomato
sauce; and the bacon slices.
Bake covered at 375� for 1 hour and 15 minutes; remove cover and continue to
cook until bacon is brown. (Casserole is even better if it rests 30 minutes
before serving.)
Makes at least 4 servings.
