I was given this family favorite recipe almost 40 years ago. It's easy to prepare, cooks fairly quickly and the flavors of the ground beef, squash, tomatoes, onions & rice are beautiful together! Serve it with a simple salad and cornbread and you have a meal! And you don't even have to brown the ground beef! Ingredients:
8 -10 medium summer squash, sliced |
1 lb lean ground beef |
1/2 cup long grain rice, uncooked |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Cut squash about 1/4 inch thick.
2. In a large skillet, layer ingredients in the following order: tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, water and seasonings. Stir. Add squash, then rice. Crumble ground beef on top. (Steam will cook the ground beef & rice.) Bring to a boil, then cover, lower heat and simmer 50 minutes. Stir ocasionally. Add more water if needed.
3. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
