Ground Beef Veggie Rice Bake Recipes

BEEF AND RICE WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Add onion, capsicum and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add beef, cook until brown, breaking it up as you go.
• Add tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
• Turn heat down to medium. Add rice and beef broth, mix well. Add frozen veggies and bay leaf, then stir.
• Place lid on, lower heat to medium low so it's simmering gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes (might even take longer) until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check). The rice should be just cooked, but will be wet.
• Remove from heat. Quickly toss spinach on top of the rice and put the lid back on. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice and mix through wilted spinach with a fork. Adjust salt if desired. Serve!

VEGETABLE BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. casserole, layer half the potatoes, carrots, celery, green beans and onion. Crumble half the uncooked beef over vegetables. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each thyme, salt and pepper. Repeat layers. , Top with tomatoes. Cover and bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake about 1 hour longer or until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook and stir until pepper has slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Strain 1/2 of the liquid from the canned diced tomatoes into the mixture.
• Stir diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper into the ground beef mixture. Simmer until some of the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add rice and mix well. Transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

BAKED BEEF AND VEGGIES WITH RICE

Steps:

• In a large oven-proof fry pan (I use cast iron), brown the beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. If the beef is really lean, add a little oil to the pan so it doesn't stick.
• Stir in the grated garlic, salt and pepper.
• Remove beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside. Do not drain the pan.
• Add the onion and pepper to the pan and saute until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook another 5-7 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix together the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili pepper, brown sugar and wine.
• Return the meat to the pan and mix thoroughly.
• Add the tomato mixture and stir to combine.
• Lower heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. If mixture seems dry, add some more wine.
• While mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 190C/375°F.
• Put the pan in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Sprinkle the cheese over top and return to oven for a further 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and starts to turn golden.
• Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook ground beef, celery & onion until beef is brown & veggies are tender (drain fat).

• You may add the shredded cheddar during the last few minutes of cooking or use as a topping before serving.
• Stir before serving.
