1 hrsShip Wreck casserole has been feeding hungry families on a tight budget for generations. Five ingredients layered in a dish, covered, and baked until the potatoes are tender, the beef is cooked through, and the rice has soaked up all the tomato juices.
No browning, no pre-cooking, no fuss. Sliced potatoes go in first, then onions, raw ground beef, uncooked rice, and tomatoes on top. A sprinkle of salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance the tomato acidity.
Cover it, walk away for 90 minutes, and come back to a one-dish dinner that somehow tastes like it took real effort.
Kitchen Tips
- Slice the potatoes thin so they cook through completely in the covered baking time
- The rice cooks in the steam and tomato liquid, so don’t worry about pre-cooking it
- Keep the lid on tight for the full baking time; the steam is what cooks everything evenly
- A touch of sugar takes the edge off the tomato acidity and rounds out the flavor
