This Beefy Rice Slow Cooker Casserole includes everything needed for a balanced meal. This dish doesn’t have very strong flavours, so it’s a good family friendly freezer meal. 

Beefy Rice Slow Cooker Casserole Recipe:

• 1 1⁄2 lbs. cooked ground beef
• 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
• 1 chopped onion
• 1⁄4 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 cup uncooked long grain converted rice
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. chili powder

Before putting together this freezer meal, brown the ground beef and chop the onion and green pepper. Place the uncooked rice in a medium sized resealable bag and seal.

Next, add the browned ground beef, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and seasonings to a large resealable bag. Squish everything in that bag together. 

Remove the excess air from the bag and seal. Staple the medium bag of uncooked rice to the large bag above the seal.

On the day of cooking, take the meal out of the freezer. Thaw. Remove the staples. Add the contents of both bags to the slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water. Stir. 

Cook in the crock pot on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the rice is the right consistency.

This family friendly freezer meal is included in our Slow Cooker Freezer Meal Plan which has recipes, shopping lists, and printable labels.
