Spanish Rice Casserole

A hearty healthy skillet meal using celeriac (for the first time!)



Celeriac !?! What the heck is this weird looking vegetable? I have seen it before but just now decided to try it after reading an interesting Instagram post by @chefbenkelly about how it can be used. 

It has the taste of celery, being celery root, with a texture similar to potato. I think I like it!



1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup diced celeriac
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced red pepper
15 oz tomato sauce
14 oz diced canned tomatoes
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of cayenne
3 cups cooked rice

Start by browning the beef, onion, red pepper and celeriac in a large skillet until there is no pink left to the beef.



Add the remaining ingredients (except the rice) and bring to a boil. Cook until veggies are tender then stir in the cooked rice and heat through. 

Love these one pot meals!



I used my No Fail Rice Pilaf recipe for the cooked rice.
