Why We Love This Rice Casserole
Casseroles are easy to make, comforting and delicious, this recipe is no exception! It’s versatile since you can use whatever veggies (or meats) that you happen to have on hand! Cooking ground beef with onion adds lots of flavor. Using instant rice keeps the cook time quick while making a hearty meal. Prepare this recipe in advance and bake just in time for dinner.
Ingredients/Variations
This recipe is so easily adaptable.
Make it with chicken instead of ground beef. Make it with any “cream of” soup you have on hand If you don’t have Instant rice, add in any type of cooked rice can replace instant rice. If using cooked rice, reduce water to 1/2 cup. To replace frozen veggies, steam fresh veggies until tender crisp or use leftover veggies.
