Meatballs and Rice Casserole

This Meatballs and Rice Casserole is also great if you substitute wild rice for the white rice making this casserole more nutritious. Wild rice is actually not rice but a watergrass seed. We were introduced to wild rice while living in Minnesota and continue to cook with it.

Meatball Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 Tbsp chopped onions
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp oil
• Combine above ingredients. Shape into meatballs and brown in oil.

Other Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over meatballs in a 2 quart casserole.
Bake 40-45 minutes at 350°.
