Shipwreck Casserole
Want to know why it’s called a Shipwreck Casserole? It’s made from a whole bunch of ingredients mixed to create a somewhat messy-looking casserole reminiscent of a messy shipwreck—hence the name.
- 2 white onions (sliced)
- 4 medium potatoes (sliced)
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (uncooked)
- 1/2 – 3/4 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 cup white rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups of carrots (sliced)
- one 10 ounces can of condensed tomato soup (I use roasted red pepper for extra flavour! Use your favourite soup!)
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- This can be done in a casserole dish in the oven or in the slow cooker. For the crockpot, your vegetables can be sliced THICKER if you are going to cook all day!
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
- Place onions in the bottom of a well greased 9×13 baking dish. Add the potatoes, then the carrots.
- Mix the seasoning salt into the ground beef then spread the beef over top of the vegetables then sprinkle with rice.
- Mix together the tomato soup and the water then pour over top.
- Cover with tin foil.
- Cook for two hours, until the vegetables are soft and the rice has cooked.
