Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 14 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup of rice (cooked)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • salt (pepper, oregano, to taste)
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instruction

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and, stirring often, saute for a few minutes- until they've become tender and translucent.
  • Add the ground beef and garlic. Brown the ground beef completely, drain, and return to the skillet.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and spice the beef with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
  • Stir in the rice, peas, tomato sauce, broth, and 1 cup of cheese. Let simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Transfer everything to a 9×13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, or yogurt, with the remaining cup of cheese.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and spread the cream/cheese mixture evenly over top.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
