Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup thawed green peas
  • 1 cup thawed corn
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried

  • 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups cooked white or brown rice

How To Make beef and rice casserole

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8 inch, or 11-by-7 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Step 2
    Combine the beef and onion in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, cook, stirring to break the meat into crumbles, until the onions begin to soften, and the meat browns, about 4 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Stir in the peas, corn, ketchup, chili powder, cumin, thyme, salt and tomatoes, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Combine the rice, sour cream and scallions; place in an even layer in the baking dish. Top with the beef mixture in an even layer. Bake 10 minutes; let stand 5 minutes longer before spooning onto dinner plates.
