Grandma's Rice Dish

By: Lorna Moore

"'My grandmother often made this casserole when I was young,' recalls Lorna Moore of Glendora, California. 'I forgot about it until I found myself adding the same ingredients to leftover rice one day. The memories came flooding back, and I've made this recipe regularly since then.'"

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the rice, tomatoes, corn, olives, bacon, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a boil; remove from the heat. Add 1 cup of cheese; stir until melted.
