Fay Compton's Spanish Rice

Fay Compton's Spanish Rice

Half cup rice, 1 lb. minced beef or other suitable meat, 1 tin tomatoes, 1 large onion, salt and pepper.

Put rice on to boil. While rice is cooking, chop onion and fry it in fat until nearly brown. Add meat and fry with onion until just cooked through (not overdone). Turn into a bowl, add cooked rice and tomatoes, salt and pepper. Mix well. A little Worcester sauce adds to the flavor, or a few chopped mushrooms.

Turn the whole thing into a casserole and bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. A few sliced tomatoes laid on top before serving makes the dish look appetizing.
