How to Make Aunt Woofie S Meat N Rice Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
4. Stir in 1 cup long-grain rice. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
5. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked through. Set aside.
6. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of your chosen ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, Italian sausage, or pork sausage) over medium-high heat. If using ground turkey, add 2 tablespoons of water to prevent dryness. Drain any excess grease.
7. Add 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat until bubbly.
8. Stir in the cooked rice and mix thoroughly. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water or milk if the mixture is too thick.
9. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
10. Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
11. Cover the dish with foil (if using a baking dish without a lid).
12. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
13. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
14. For a stovetop version: Skip steps 1, 17, and 18. After step 13, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe skillet. Top with cheese and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until cheese is melted and the mixture is hot and bubbly.
