Barbara Walters’ Western Casserole

I got here throughout this recipe for Barbara Walters’ Western Casserole on the web. From the image it appears to be like like fairly an previous recipe. Perhaps from the 80s? I knew that it had the potential to be an important Prompt Pot recipe. I ended up altering among the ratios of the elements and put my very own little touches on the recipe. It was a scrumptious and really simple weeknight meal. I believe you’ll prefer it too! (It sort of jogged my memory of spanish rice.)

Components/Substitution Concepts

• Lean floor beef–or floor turkey
• Onion
• Seasoned salt–or garlic salt
• Beef or hen broth–or water and Higher than Bouillon
• Transformed rice–or white rice. I like utilizing transformed rice due to the feel.
• Chili powder
• Pepper
• Worcestershire sauce
• Diced tomatoes–or crushed or stewed tomatoes
• Inexperienced bell pepper–or one other shade of bell pepper
• Sliced olives–non-compulsory. I didn’t use as a result of nobody in my household likes olives.
• Tomato sauce
• Cheddar cheese–or one other kind of cheese you get pleasure from.

Steps

Brown: Flip Prompt Pot to saute setting. When show says HOT add within the beef and break it up. Add within the onions. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off extra grease. How I drain grease: Tilt the Prompt Pot to 1 aspect whereas holding the bottom meat towards the opposite aspect with a picket spoon. This could make a lot of the grease pool on the tilted aspect. Decrease the Prompt Pot down, the meat ought to keep to its aspect and the grease on the opposite. Place a pair paper towels into the grease and use the spoon to sop up the grease. Discard the paper towels. Stir within the seasoned salt.

Deglaze: Pour within the broth and scrape backside of pot in order that nothing is sticking. Flip off Prompt Pot.

Add elements: Sprinkle within the rice, chili powder, pepper, Worcestershire, tomatoes, peppers and olives. Don’t stir (this can forestall the burn error message).

Strain prepare dinner: Cowl Prompt Pot and safe the lid. Make certain valve is about to sealing. Set handbook/stress prepare dinner button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes after which transfer the valve to venting. Take away the lid.

Ending touches: Stir in tomato sauce and cheddar. Scoop onto plates or bowls and serve. 

Notes/Ideas

• We served this rice dish with a inexperienced salad and our favourite Italian salad dressing (Olive Backyard model).
• I used my 6 quart Prompt Pot*. You may as well make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
• Retailer leftovers in an hermetic container* within the fridge for as much as 5 days or within the freezer for as much as 3 months.
• This recipe might be gluten free if you happen to use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
• This recipe might be dairy free if you happen to forego sprinkling the cheese on it.
• What’s transformed/parboiled rice? Don’t confuse transformed rice (or generally it’s referred to as parboiled rice) with pre-cooked or minute rice. Parboiled rice has been processed in its husk by soaking, steaming, and drying. Because of this, all of the vitamins from the husk are absorbed into the grain earlier than it’s eliminated. The starch content material alters within the course of, making cooked parboiled rice much less sticky than common white rice. The rice kernels aren’t clumpy and glued collectively as a substitute they’re extra separated. I discovered a bag of parboiled rice at Walmart subsequent to the traditional lengthy grain white rice. Typically I purchase it at Winco within the bulk part. I’ve additionally discovered it within the orange field (Ben’s model) subsequent to different rices.
• You can also make this with plain lengthy grain white rice if you happen to choose. Use the identical cooking instances and broth to rice ratio.
