How to Make Baked Beef And Rice Bake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
- Cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to crumble.
- In a large skillet, add the bacon drippings. Add 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped). Cook until the beef is browned and the rice is lightly toasted.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp seasoning salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 cup sliced stuffed olives, 1/2 cup tomato juice, and 1 cup boiling water.
- Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Cover tightly with foil or a lid and bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rice is tender.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
