Casserole With Hamburger Meat

If you have some left over hamburger meat, and you are wondering what to make with it then this casserole dish using up your surplus burger meat will fit the bill perfectly.

The ingredients have a distinctive Texan influence and produce the most amazing flavours during cooking. The great part about this casserole is in its simplicity, you simply cook all the ingredients together including the rice which absorbs all the cooking juices and flavours resulting in a truly scrumptious beef mince casserole.

Texan Hamburger Meat Casserole ingredients

* 1 - 1.5 pounds of hamburger meat (you can also use just ground mince beef)

* 3 large finely sliced onions

* 1 Green pepper

* 1 large clove of garlic crushed

* 1 teaspoon of chili powder (reduce if you do not like it too spicy)

* 1 400g can of chopped tomatoes

* Half a cup of rice (long grain or basmati)

* 1 Teaspoon of salt

* Half teaspoon of pepper

Firstly, smear a decent sized casserole dish with oil ready for the meat mixture.

Brown off the hamburger meat and onions in a frying pan or skillet on a medium heat until the onions reaches transparency and then add the garlic and peppers and continue cooking until the pepper is soft. Now remove the pan/skillet from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and the remaining ingredients.

Now transfer the mixture into the pre oiled casserole dish cover either with a lid or some tightly fitting tin foil and cook for 50 minutes at 350 degrees. Once cooking time has elapsed remove the lid or foil and stir. Cook for a further 10 minutes and your casserole with hamburger meat is now ready. Serve with some grated cheese and soured cream, something quite special and once tried with no doubt become a family favourite dish!
