• 1/4 tsp. oregano (or more if you wish)
• 1/2 bay leaf
• 1 19 oz. can diced tomatoes
• 1 can mushroom soup
• 1 cup minute rice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Brown beef with onion. Drain. Add seasonings. Add tomatoes, soup, and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf. Spoon into 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Place in oven until cheese melts. Freezes well, just reheat in microwave and add cheese before placing in oven.
