Description
A savory pie with meat for crust and topped with cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 breadcrumbs (unseasoned)
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce (divided)
- 1/2 cup ketchup (divided)
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced (divided)
- 1 1/3 cup rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Combine beef, breadcrumbs, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, 1/2 of the ketchup, oregano, salt, garlic salt and 1/2 the bell pepper together.
- Mix until all ingredients incorporated.
- Take handfuls of meat and place into muffin pan cups, pressing out along the sides to create a well.
- Bake meat cups for 10 minutes until just set.
- While the cups bake, prepare instant rice and mix in the remaining tomato sauce, ketchup, and 1/2 of the cheese.
- Once cups are complete, place a wire rack or some other kitchen device to place over the cups and tilt the muffin tin so that excess grease from the baking of the meat drains out into a bowl.
- Take the rice mix and fill into meat cups, bringing rice to the top of the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and drain again.
- Add cheese to the tops and bake until cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes then use a fork or knife to pop out from the side.
- Serve with an extra drizzle of ketchup on top.
