How to Make 8 Layer Casserole
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat; drain excess grease.
- In your slow cooker, evenly spread the browned ground beef.
- Sprinkle 4 oz crumbled bacon bits over the beef, followed by 1/2 cup chopped onion.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 28 oz (2 cans) tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Pour half of the tomato sauce mixture over the beef and onion layers.
- Evenly distribute 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice over the sauce, followed by 1 cup frozen corn.
- Top with the remaining tomato sauce mixture, then 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color).
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the rice is tender and the flavors have melded. Check for doneness after 5 hours; cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker.
