Five Spice Beef And Rice Casserole Recipes

GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE WITH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook and stir until pepper has slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Strain 1/2 of the liquid from the canned diced tomatoes into the mixture.
• Stir diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper into the ground beef mixture. Simmer until some of the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add rice and mix well. Transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

INSTANT POT CHINESE FIVE SPICE BEEF AND VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, add the stewing beef, flour, and Chinese five spice then seal and shake the bag until the beef is well coated.
• Using the "saute" function on the Instant Pot, add one tablespoon of olive oil and brown beef on all sides (you may need to do this in batches). Remove the beef and set aside.
• Pour another tablespoon of olive oil into the Instant Pot and add the onion, stirring until soft and brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir for another 30 seconds, until the garlic starts to brown.
• Add red wine to deglaze* (see first note), stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to remove/dissolve the brown bits and allowing the wine to be absorbed into the onions. Press "cancel" to turn off the Instant Pot.
• Add back in the beef as well as the potatoes, carrots, celery, beans, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Give the ingredients a good stir to distribute the ingredients throughout the vessel** (see second note). Place a bay leaf on top.
• Seal the Instant Pot and cook at high pressure ("manual"/"pressure cook" function) for 25 minutes. After the stew is ready, allow natural pressure release for at least 15 minutes before quick pressure release to completely depressurize (until floating valve drops).
• Open the Instant Pot, remove the bay leaf and give the stew a stir. Taste for additional salt and pepper and top with fresh basil if you like. Best served hot.

HAMBURGER CASSEROLE WITH RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

• In a separate bowl, stir together condensed soups, milk, salt, chives, pepper and garlic powder.
• Add cooked rice, soup mixture and vegetables to the cooked beef. Stir to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheese over top.
• In a small bowl, toss together Corn Flakes crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle over top of the casserole.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

MINUTE RICE FIVE SPICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
• Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
• Simmer 5 minutes.
• Stir occasionally.
• Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
• Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
• Garnish with olives if desired.
• Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
• Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!
