"My sister brought this recipe home from a friend in the 1970's. I don't know where the name came from but my mom made this all the time when we were kids. I still make it for my family. It's best when done in an iron skillet. It's great with a salad and bread and butter."

Wow, this to my surprise was so good. I really didn't think it would be since there was no spices in it. MY DH loved it. Thanks Mika for this really good but easy receipe... -
We all liked this but no one loved it. It was a very plain meal. I followed the recipe as written other then I did add salt and pepper to the mixture. It was very simple to make and was made with ingredients I had on hand. -
This was really, really good! Super easy, too. I did fiddle with it just a little bit. Added salt and pepper to the meat and onion after I drained it, then added a 4 oz. can of mushroom pieces and stems (drained) when I added the consomme. Also only used 1/2 an onion because the only one I had was huge. The directions didn't say whether to cover it or not when putting it in the oven, but since it was rice, I covered. Turned out perfectly. This will be one of my "go-to" recipes when I want something quick, easy and good for dinner with things I normally keep on hand.
