Baked Beef and Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 packets of veggie stock powder

• 3 cups water

• 1 onion, chopped or shredded

• 1 can of tomatoes

• 1 ½ cups rice

• 1 tin corn

• 1 tin mixed veg

• ½ tsp mixed herbs

• 500g beef mince

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

•  Add all ingredients to the baking dish and stir well to ensure everything is evenly combined and the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.

•  Cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil to trap steam, which helps the rice cook evenly.

•  Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

•  Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains, then serve warm.
