This ground beef casserole or commonly called Shipwreck Casserole is a comfort food meal that always gets rave reviews. This super easy version of the classic Shipwreck Casserole is made with ground beef, rice, potatoes and lots of veggies, baked together in the most delicious tomato sauce. This dinner is quick to throw together, and it freezes well too. This beef casserole is one of my favorite cozy winter meals!
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Add rice to the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer ingredients in this order in the baking dish: onion, potatoes, ground beef, garlic, carrots, celery, water, tomato soup, diced tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each layer.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours, or until ground beef and rice are fully cooked. Serve and enjoy!
