My throwtogether casserole that I brought for lunch today (I shared, so don't worry) was rather simple and one can use real ground beef for it (althought I don't):
1 c. raw rice (the regular stuff, not the instant)
3 c. water
1 T. butter or oleo
Salt to taste
1/2 lb. ground meatless (3/4 lb. ground beef or ground turkey)
1/2 lb. chopped broccoli
2 T. tomato paste
1 1/2 t. hot sauce (or to taste)
1 c. shredded cheese
Cook the rice with water, butter and salt in a large saucepan. Add the uncooked meatless (if using real meat, brown first, just to be safe, and drain the fat) and the broccoli. Mix thoroughly. Add the tomato paste and hot sauce. Mix thoroghly again. Transfer to a 13 x 9 inch casserole/baking pan. Top with cheese. Bake or microwave until cheese is melted. Serve.
