Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion sliced thin
  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 pound ground beef uncooked
  • 1/2 cup long grain rice uncooked
  • 1 cup celery sliced
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 15 ounce can dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 10 ounce can condensed tomato soup plus 1 can water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 with nonstick spray.
  • Layer the pan with thinly sliced onions. Top with potatoes.
  • Layer on the ground beef (uncooked). Sprinkle with rice.
  • Top with sliced celery and carrots.
  • Sprinkle on the drained and rinsed beans.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the soup with the can of water.
  • Pour over the layers in the casserole dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake 1 ½ hours. Remove from the oven.
  • Gently uncover and serve.

Notes

  • Season with salt and pepper as you add the layers. You can even sprinkle in some garlic powder.
  • No need for browning the pound of ground beef. That makes the dish even easier!
  • Love tomatoes? Add in a can of diced tomatoes, drained, to the bean layer.
  • No tomato soup? Use tomato juice or diluted tomato paste.
  • Don't use brown rice or instant rice. They won't cook correctly.
  • Use seasoning salt or Italian seasoning for more flavor.
  • You can use other types of ground meat for this dish like ground turkey, chicken or pork.
  • Dump casseroles create their own “gravy” while cooking so make sure to spoon some of it over the serving.
  • This can be cooked using a slow cooker or in a casserole dish.
