This is a really tasty, easy to put together casserole that your whole family will enjoy. The original recipe came from the label on a jar of pasta sauce. I use a smooth pasta sauce with tomato and romano cheese in it to make this but you could easily experiment with different types or use home-made.
Ingredients: [‘raw rice’, ‘green capsicum’, ‘onion’, ‘pasta sauce’, ‘red kidney beans’, ‘lean ground beef’, ‘cheese’, ‘bacon’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“1/3 cup raw rice”,”1 cup green capsicum, finely chopped “,”3/4 cup onion, finely chopped “,”1 (500 g) jar pasta sauce (I use Ragulettou0027s Tomato and Romano cheese)”,”1 (310 g) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed “,”500 g lean ground beef”,”1/2 cup grated cheese”,”2 rashes bacon, diced “]
