Babette Rice

I called Babette to tell her I was making this and ask her advice about what kind of tomatoes to use. She gave me the answer I typed above! I used diced. Her tip was to make the raw hamburger into meatballs to put on top of the casserole. She doesn't mix anything with the hamburger. She layers the vegies, ends with meatballs and dumps the tomatoes on top! I had my meat browned, so it was too late for me to try the meatballs. It smelled wonderful while it was cooking. She suggested serving it with Pillsbury french bread, from the tube, to soak up the juice. This recipe is a keeper!
