HAMBURGER CASSEROLE

Category: Ground

2 lbs ground beef
1 (16 oz) can tomato sauce
1 cup cooked white rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped and seeded green bell pepper
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Colby cheese

Preheat the oven to 350. Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the excess grease and remove from the heat. In a 3-quart casserole dish, mix together the beef, tomato sauce, rice, onion, green pepper, chili powder, salt, pepper, and 1 cup cheese. Spread the remaining 1 cup cheese over the top and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese melts and the casserole is hot throughout. Serves 4 to 6.
