Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lbs. lean ground beef
Lawry© Seasoning
Black ground pepper
1 green pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 ribs of celery, chopped
1 cup minute rice (uncooked)
about 3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
1 can of cut green beans (or more, if desired)
about 3 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
1 quart canned tomato juice (I sometimes use tomato sauce to equal 32 oz.) We like the liquid to be a little dryer.

Directions:
Directions:
1. Layer ingredients into a deep 9 X 13 baking dish after spraying with non-stick spray in the following order...
a) ½ of ground beef - press evenly getting into corners
b) dry rice (uncooked)
c) sprinkle on top ½ the chopped peppers, celery, and onions
c) sliced carrots
d) sliced potatoes
e) evenly drop the last ½ ground beef
f) sprinkle on top the second ½ of chopped peppers, celery, and onions
g) Lawry seasoning and black pepper

2. Slowly pour the quart of tomato juice over all.

3. Cover casserole with foil and place into a preheated 350º oven and bake about 3 hours. The last hour of baking,
remove the foil so the top can brown and excessive juice can somewhat evaporate.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is definately an old family favorite that our Mom made quite often. It's a very hearty and flavorful dish and the bonus...it's loaded with yummy vegetables. You don't need to prepare much else for the meal, maybe just a salad or applesauce and a dinner roll. Of course, we usually had to end every meal with a big bowl of icecream!
