Ingredients

Adjust Servings:
1 lb ground beef (lean is great, as you don't need to drain it)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (or any oil you like)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons no-salt brand salt
1 medium onion, chopped
1 dash pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/8 teaspoon garlic granules
1/8 teaspoon thyme (ground basil also works)
1/8 teaspoon oregano (ground is best)
1 - 2 bay leaf (try to take them out before baking)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can mushroom soup, reduced fat works okay
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (the larger "family size" is good)
1 cup minute rice
8 slices sharp cheddar cheese, reduced fat is good

    Minute Rice Five Spice Casserole, Back around 1950, my grandmother found the recipe off the back of the Minute Rice box Since then, it has become a family favorite, that we all request at some point in time It is rather easy, and we usually serve it with cole slaw as the side dish Plus, it makes wonderful leftovers!, I grew up on this recipe, my family renamed it Cindys Favorite Casserole My health tweaks; change beef to turkey, add spinach (for vitamins) and today Im trying out cauliflower rice instead???? of white rice , Great Recipe! Fast and Easy I’ve had this recipe since my childhood and have always loved it I have tweaked the original recipe and made it even more amazing like other reviewers have done with diced or crushed tomatoes and if you have an herb garden, throw in a palm sized handful of fresh chopped thyme and oregano instead of dried as it has a wonderful flavor and adds color, My mother used sliced process cheese, but shredded cheddar or a combo of shredded cheeses are best I decrease the salt to 3/4 tsp and don’t use the oil to brown the meat as it doesn’t need it Green olives are good as a garnish but I find sprinkling capers over the cheese before browning the cheese is delightful I also make it in a 12 inch oven safe skillet and don’t transfer it like use to My gourmet husband loves it and calls it the best comfort food ever
