I want to see is anyone can come up with directions for making a casserole using uncooked white rice, ground beef, canned mushrooms, sliced onions, frozen mixed veggies, beef consomme, and/or french onion soup, shredded cheddar cheese, and saltI kinda know what i want to do, im just not sure what the rice and liquid amounts should beAnd im not sure if i want to cook it covered in a dutch oven or in a casserole dish covered with aluminum foilWhat would you do? Or is there a similar recipe you know of that could help me out?
That combination pf ingredients would be just deliciousI would fry up the onions, nice and dark, add in the hamburger and cook until the color is almost gone, drain off the oils as best as possible without stressing about leaving a teaspoon or two in the panI would then drain the mushroom liquid into a measuring cup, (at least a 2 cup size if not bigger) then pour in the Consomme, and see how much liquid you haveYou need to add 2 times the amount of liquid for the amount of rice you are usingAdd water to meet the requirement of the 2 to 1 ratio.So 2 cups Rice to 4 cups liquidPlace the dry rice on the bottom of a sprayed with oil 9x13x 3 pan(lasagna size for the depth), Sprinkle on the cooked onions and hamburg, then the mushrooms, I would sprinkle on the Onion Soup Dry mix, then add the Froz Veggies, and OMIT the saltAdd pepper instead, and let Salt be added at the tablePour carefully the liquid all over so as not to disturb the layersI would cover it with foil, bake at least 40 minutes, uncover it, then top with the Cheese, pop it back in the oven until the cheese bubbles, and serve with a green salad, and beverageDELICIOUS(The trick is adding the proper amount of liquid so the rice cooks properly, and it does need to be covered for that) (NOTE: you did not tell us how many people you are feeding or how much hamburger you are using eitherThe rest we can figure outCans and packets are easy enough.)
