1 cup uncooked rice (minute or regular)
1 cup corn
salt & pepper
2 cups tomato sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper (I left this out)
1 cup cooked or canned green beans (I used frozen spinach this time)
3/4 pound ground beef
4 slices bacon, cooked & chopped
Put rice & corn in backing dish.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper
Cheese, optional
Mix tomato sauce & water. Pour half over corn & rice.
Add layers of onion, green pepper, green beans, & beef.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Add remaining tomato mixture.
Top with bacon.
Cover tightly with foil.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Uncover; cook 30 minutes more for regular rice, 0-5 more minutes for minute rice. (Top with optional cheese the last 5 minutes.)
**Note, if making tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes, it might be a little liquidy. I added an additional 1 cup corn and a can of tomato paste mixed with a little more water to thicken the sauce a bit & poured over the top.
