Depression Era Casserole

I find it funny that in those old days when money was low they still knew good food and how to make it mix into wonderful casseroles. This depression era casserole would have been one of those examples. This particular recipe was found on group recipes

1 pound ground round (hamburger)                                                
1/4 cup rice, well soaked                                                
2 carrots, cut in narrow strips                                                
2 onions, sliced thin and separated into rings                                                
4 - 5 medium potatoes, sliced paper thin                                                
2 (16 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 stalk celery, diced                                                

 

Preheat oven to 30 degrees F. Crumble raw meat into bottom of casserole. Add rice, carrots, onions, potatoes, celery and seasonings. Mix well. Dot with butter. Pour in tomatoes. Cover with foil. Bake for 1to2 hours
