Garden Fresh Casserole

I love to eat this stuffed in a whole wheat pita pocket. Mmmmmm so good. It is from Set For Life: Eat More, Weigh Less, Feel Terrific by Jane P. Merrill and Karen M. Sunderland.

Garden Fresh Casserole
Serve with whole wheat pita pockets and fruit salad

Ingredients: 1/2 lb. extra-lean ground beef, 1 small onion chopped, 1 green pepper coarsely chopped, 1 beef bouillon cube, 1 c. hot water, 1 1/2 c. cooked brown rice, 2 tomatoes coarsely chopped, and shredded cheese to taste.

Brown ground beef and onion. Drain well. Add green pepper. Dissolve bouillon in water and pour over beef mixture. Simmer 15 minutes. Add rice and tomatoes. Steam 10 minutes. Top with shredded cheese and stuff it in to a whole wheat pita pocket if you want a tasty of Healthy Deliciousness Heaven ( or make it gluten free and skip the pita). Serves 4.
