Meal in One Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 tbsp. oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 1/2 c. cooked tomatoes
• 1 can navy beans
• 2/3 c. uncooked rice
• 3/4 c. grated Cheddar cheese

Directions:

Brown ground beef in oil; add onion and chili powder. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in the tomatoes, beans and rice. Place in a greased casserole, bake uncovered 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Sprinkle with cheese; continue to bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. (Recipe is rather thin when mixed, but as rice cooks, it thickens!)
