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.
