How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Rice Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 6 slices of bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove bacon, blot on paper towels, and crumble. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) in the reserved bacon fat until softened. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 ½ cups water, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, and 1 tablespoon A1 Steak Sauce.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with crumbled bacon.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
