Minute Rice Five Spice Casserole image

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!

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
  • Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
  • Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
  • Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
  • Garnish with olives if desired.
  • Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
  • Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!

This casserole was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out dry and tasteless. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This casserole was okay. The rice was a little mushy for my taste, and the vegetables were a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of rice.

I'm not a big fan of five-spice powder, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The casserole was still delicious, even without the five-spice powder.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some cooked brown rice in the fridge, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up. The casserole was delicious and filling.

I made this casserole for a potluck, and it was a huge success! Everyone loved the unique flavor of the five-spice powder. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.

I've made this casserole several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The rice cooks up perfectly, and the five-spice powder adds a delicious depth of flavor. I highly recommend trying this recipe!

This rice casserole was a hit with my family! The five-spice powder gave it a unique and flavorful taste. I also loved the addition of the vegetables, which made it a complete meal in one dish.
