Italian-Spanish Rice Casserole Barbaja W.
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 casserole
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- rice (that you previously cooked for example minute rice or from another meal that is leftover)
- 0.5 (1 ounce) envelope onion soup
- 1 lb cooked crumbled lean hamburger
- chopped fresh onions or chopped dehydrated onion
- spaghetti sauce (leftovers if possible) or taco sauce (leftovers if possible)
- canned corn or frozen corn, drained
- canned mushroom, drained
- fresh cooked drained bacon (save the drippings)
- shredded cheese
directions
- Mix the rice and tomato sauce together place in a microwave safe casserole.
- Take the hamburger that is mixed with a little bacon drippings (this is ok because the hamburger was 90% lean).
- Layer the meat in next.
- Layer in the corn then layer the mushrooms.
- Then the corn then the bacon for flavor and decoration.
- Now the shredded cheese.
- Microwave on high 5 minutes or so until heated through and the cheese is melted.
- This sounds strange, so if you are a health nut remember that the hamburger was 90% lean and the bacon is for garnish so there is only a little (do not use bacon bits). Did you know you can also add chili beans as a layer if you want. The 1/2 envelope of onion soup might be used to add flavor to the tomato sauce if the sauce is a variety that is boring or bland. Use a little and taste to see if you want to add more or use none if not needed.

My family has a recipe heritage from Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Also, I like to try new foods from all sorts of places, this is an american tradition. Some of my favorite recipes are from a Girl Scout cookbook.
This is because I am a Girl Scout Leader. During the summer, for one week, I volunteer as Girl Scout program manager at our daycamp. I help manage crafts, songs, games, activities around a central theme. At the same daycamp I am the bus lady. I say things like" Sit down ,don't poke your neighbor." or "Who wants to vote on what song to sing?" I love it.
Ok, now what else do I think is worth doing for fun? I like to garden in our yard. My all time favorite "cookbook" is a recipe box from my great grandma, grandma, and mother, in thier own handwriting. My second most favorite cookbook is Mrs. Beeton's all about cookery New Edition circa 1913. I am passionate about people, pets, children.
i like attending and volunteering at native american pow wows, summer picnics and meetings. it is a good welcoming club. t native american thru daughter.happy to have learned few recipes there.
If I had a month off no work, no responsibilities I would do arts and crafts and read books all night long sleeping in late each morning. I would go to museums in the afternoon, then to the library to get more books. I would cook and eat foods that I remember from my childhood.
