Best 6 Ground Beef Veggie Rice Bake Recipes

BEEF AND RICE WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Add onion, capsicum and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add beef, cook until brown, breaking it up as you go.
• Add tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
• Turn heat down to medium. Add rice and beef broth, mix well. Add frozen veggies and bay leaf, then stir.
• Place lid on, lower heat to medium low so it's simmering gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes (might even take longer) until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check). The rice should be just cooked, but will be wet.
• Remove from heat. Quickly toss spinach on top of the rice and put the lid back on. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice and mix through wilted spinach with a fork. Adjust salt if desired. Serve!

VEGETABLE BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. casserole, layer half the potatoes, carrots, celery, green beans and onion. Crumble half the uncooked beef over vegetables. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each thyme, salt and pepper. Repeat layers. , Top with tomatoes. Cover and bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake about 1 hour longer or until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.

BAKED BEEF AND VEGGIES WITH RICE

Steps:

• In a large oven-proof fry pan (I use cast iron), brown the beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. If the beef is really lean, add a little oil to the pan so it doesn't stick.
• Stir in the grated garlic, salt and pepper.
• Remove beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside. Do not drain the pan.
• Add the onion and pepper to the pan and saute until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook another 5-7 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix together the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili pepper, brown sugar and wine.
• Return the meat to the pan and mix thoroughly.
• Add the tomato mixture and stir to combine.
• Lower heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. If mixture seems dry, add some more wine.
• While mixture is simmering, preheat your oven to 190C/375°F.
• Put the pan in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Sprinkle the cheese over top and return to oven for a further 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and starts to turn golden.
• Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes.
• Serve over rice.
