Use up Your Leftover Meat - Rice Casserole

"My mother in law made this when raising her kids. I like it now and make it occasionally. It is very easy, just make sure that you have an over proof pot large enough. Sometimes I will add a can of corn, but the recipe doesn't call for it. I used to make it in a dutch oven, until we moved and it was somehow left behind!!! This is easily doubled or even tripled, you just need a large enough pot."

  1. Thank you, this is really good and oh so easy ! I made it today. I used left over meat loaf along with cooked rice that I had on hand. I cut back on the water that I added, by half. I used broccoli, not string beans and worcestershire sauce and lemon pepper. I gave it a try prior to the oven. Now I know it will be well excepted for dinner.
