Ken’s Cast Iron Kitchen: 5 Ingredient Easy Peezy Casserole
Contributed by Ken Hagler
Every one of the recipes I share has been tested and tweaked in our kitchen. I’ve done a few that were… yuck! But when I share them with you, know that they have passed our picky eater taste test. This is a great one anytime, but especially when the budget is getting tight or your paycheck is late! Seriously though, I like to use a deep skillet or a small Dutch oven for this one. Any ground meat will work!
You’ll need:
· 1 pound of ground meat
· ½ cup white rice
· 1 (10-ounce) can of French onion soup mix
· 12-ounce can (drained) OR bag of frozen veggies
· 1 (3-ounce) can of rench-fried onions
· Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
· Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
· Spray or oil your skillet or Dutch oven.
· Brown the ground meat in the sprayed skillet (drain if you wish, but it’s not required). Add salt and pepper to taste.
· Next, combine rice, veggies, onion soup, and ½ cup of water (if you drained the meat) or ¼ cup of water (if you didn’t drain and there’s already liquid). Add it to the meat. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.
· Sprinkle fried onions over the top and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. Serves 4 (unless they’re really hungry, in which case you better double the recipe!) OH YES!
