Directions
Easy Seven Layer Rice Casserole, Since there is no precooking the ground beef for this casserole it comes together quite easy, just layer ingredients and bake in just one dish, I always season the ground beef with seasoned salt, black pepper, fresh garlic and a few tablespoons of Parmesan cheese but that is only optional, you can even sprinkle cheddar cheese in the middle also when layering :, I have been eating this my whole life. I altered the recipe I received from my mom by using INSTANT RICE. This eliminates the crunchy rice. I also use an entire can of whole corn as the original recipe called for but I only lightly drain it, double the tomato sauce. I have a tendency to use very lean meat so the rice calls for more moisture. Try the instant rice it is a game changer., The oven temperature in the instructions is incorrect; it should be 350 degrees. I’ve made Seven Layer Casserole for decades; my Mother had the original Hunts recipe booklet and I inherited it. Bake at 350 degrees and it won’t burn. The last few times I’ve made the casserole, I rinse the rice in cold water and it cooks better. Another tweak is broiling the bacon after the last 30 minutes of cooking, and adding cheese. Enjoy!
