When was the last time you sat down to a piping hot plate filled with comfort food?
Check out what my pals over at Buns In My Oven had to say about this recipe:
This Sour Cream Rice Bake is pure comfort food. It’s ridiculously easy to make, with just six ingredients. It takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. The flavor is somewhat mellow and the rice is super creamy.
This casserole is definitely pure comfort food. it tastes great and is full of fat and calories, which pretty much dictates that it is going to taste amazing.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
15 ounces Hunt’s canned tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups long grain, white rice
3 cups water (or beef broth)
1 cup Borden cottage cheese
1/2 cup Daisy sour cream
1 cup Kraft cheddar cheese, shredded
Morton salt and McCormick pepper, to taste
Instructions
Add the rice and water to a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover the pan. Cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed. Allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, brown the ground beef in a skillet until cooked through. Remove from the heat, drain the grease, and add the tomato sauce to the pan.
Add the rice to a large mixing bowl and dump in the sour cream and cottage cheese. Stir to combine. Salt and pepper, to taste.
In a 2 quart baking dish place half of the rice on the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the meat and tomato sauce mixture. Sprinkle on half of the cheese. Repeat the layers.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
