[@barbarawilliams6978]

Linda, I made this casserole for dinner tonight and had to sneak a bite fresh out of the oven. It was absolutely delicious, just like Sam said. My bacon did not crisp up either and I put it in the oven after taking the foil off for another 30 minutes. It was just regular bacon too, but it did not matter. Wonderful anyway. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes those old recipes are the best!

[@Handsthatcook]

TY Barbara I'm glad you enjoyed it! TFW God bless!

Great casserole Linda ❤ It certainly looks very filling and perfect for this time of the year. Love & best wishes, Allan

[@Handsthatcook]

Allan, this was a great and easy casserole.....I had leftovers and mixed in some sour cream...it gave it a great taste. Next time I make it I'll be using sour cream as part of the bottom mixture. I hope you're feeling better. Thanks for watching and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@AllanKentFisher]

Hands That Cook Thank you Linda. Unfortunately, I've got a bad chest infection 😷 I'm on 2 lots of antibiotics, steroid tablets and 2 inhalers. Im feeling pretty sorry for myself. I wish you could come & cook for me to stimulate my appetite ❤❤

[@Handsthatcook]

I wish I could cook for you too! A nice hardy soup sounds good to me. I don't know how you've escaped sickness before now since you see sick people everyday. Whose taking care of you? I wish you were close enough....how about Paula??

[@AllanKentFisher]

Hands That Cook I'm being well taken care of 😍 I think I'm getting on their nerves. I'm like a caged animal when I have to stay in 😖 I will get better this week. Thanks for your concern Linda ❤

[@CookingwithRick]

Linda your casserole looks delicious loving all the ingredients. Sam better never move out cause I'll move in lol.

[@Handsthatcook]

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Linda how are you? This casserole is nice and easy. Looks great Hun.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Ange! I'm fine but have been having problems with my internet connection from a week before Christmas. It just kept getting worse.....I think it's finally fixed...the next week should tell the tale. If you eat beef, try this easy casserole. I think you and your family will like it. Take care and I hope all is well with you and your family. God Bless, Linda

[@AussieAngeS]

***** oh no i hope it's all sorted for you Hun, there is nothing worse than computer and Internet problems. Yes we all eat beef ansi know hubby would eat this . I have many if your recipes to try thank you for sharing Hun and you have a fabulous weekend x

[@Handsthatcook]

It was impossible to upload anything. My computer kept disconnecting from the internet...numerous conversations with the provider didn't help. Finally, yesterday, I THINK they fixed the problem. You and your family have a good weekend as well...so good to hear from you!!!

[@AussieAngeS]

***** oh our internet and phone lines went down 3 times over the last 3 days and I've been on the phone with them telling them that if this doesn't get sorted out , I will be switching providers. There is nothing worse.. hope things get better for us both lol have a wonderful weekend xo

[@patriciadudzik6440]

oh will make it soon

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Patricia!!! I hope you try and enjoy this easy casserole. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. God Bless, Linda

[@LisaStrahan]

Good morning, my dear! Hope you and Sam had a happy and healthy holiday season! Back in the 60's, my mom sent away for a Minute Rice cookbook (more like a booklet) and this recipe was in it, but they used Minute Rice instead of long grain rice, of course, and it was called "7 Layer Casserole". Same ingredients, only layered with crumbled burger and bacon on top. she doesn't make it anymore because she's almost blind, but definitely worth making! Thanks for posting and the trip down memory lane. Take care and God bless! hugggggs!

[@juliadickson911]

Lisa Strahan I bet that old minute rice book of your mom's has lots of yummy recipes!

[@LisaStrahan]

Julia Dickson Yep, it sure does. I still make some of them.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Lisa....so good to hear from you!! I hope you are well and had a good holiday season. How interesting that this was in a Minute Rice booklet (I can picture it now) This recipe MUST be in a lot of the older cookbooks but this was the first time I've seen it. Take care of yourself Lisa and God Bless!!! Linda

[@juliadickson911]

Hello! What an interesting casserole! I've never seen anything like it. You are right that this would be a great meal on a busy night. Your salad looks scrumptious too. I love old cookbooks. I have a few oldies that were Jeff's grandmother's. not the grandma that I sent you that gelatin salad, his dad's mom. She belonged to all sorts of groups, and I have a couple from her church ladies auxiliary. Lots of repeats of the exact recipe. Whatever was submitted, they printed. I've never made a recipe from those books. However; the last time we were in San Francisco, we went to the Presidio, and I bought "Alcatraz prison guards wife's club cookbook". I had to get it with that title. It's from the early 50's, and there are tons of casseroles. I Hope you are well. You sound great! God bless you, Linda💚

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Julia!! I've actually eaten that old shrimp gelatin salad many years ago.....and it's good. I'll probably do a video on it. My favorite old cookbooks are church cookbooks. Those church ladies turn in their best recipes. I have one cookbook so old the recipes are a pinch of this and a dollop of that, a knob of butter but most of the recipes don't even sound appealing (to me) and I tried so hard to find just one to video. You're right about the repeats in church cookbooks but every once in a while you'll come across one that's just a little bit different.....those are the one's I want to try.

[@juliadickson911]

I noticed something I found odd in the various lady's club and church cookbooks.... Each one has a recipe for dee fried chicken. In each recipe, they say to add a cup of water to the chicken and the oil once the chicken is brown, then close the lid and cook until done. How can the chicken be crispy when you add water and close the lid?

[@Handsthatcook]

I've never heard of that. Since it's in more than one recipe for fried chicken it had to be something that was commonly done in that time period. I don't understand it either....I'll google it and see if any info pops up.

[@jessicadailey6817]

Julia Dickson I've had chicken like that my friends mom cooked hers like that and it's good and it will be crispy too..

[@jessicadailey6817]

Julia Dickson the water will make the oil like bubble up it works just be very careful

[@susanfryer1616]

Thankyou looks good

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Susan, you're going to love this casserole. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@andreaholmes3097]

HI MRS LINDA HOPE ALL IS WELL THAT LOOKS GOOD WILL BE TRYING THAT SOON AND ANOTHER CAKE THAT YOU MAKE MUCH LOVE ANDREA

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Andrea, We had leftovers. I just heated up a plate and mixed in some sour cream....oh my goodness, it is so good!! I hope you try it. Which cake are you making (just curious) You take care and thank you for watching and commenting!! God Bless, Linda

[@CathyDW64]

Love your Videos :)

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi CathyDW64, Thank you!!! I hope you'll enjoy many of the videos on my channel! TFW and commenting, God Bless, Linda

[@lottiefoster7010]

Linda the recipe sounds good but I would have removed the bacon and crisp it in the skillet or microwave and then added it to the top of the casserole but thank you for sharing the recipe I think I'll try it

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Lottie, I agree with you ...I followed the recipe to a T but was disappointed with the bacon. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@SandyzSerious]

Yum, thank you hun.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Sandy, Add as many other spices as you want, just don't over do. You'll like this easy casserole!! TFW and commenting, God Bless, Linda

[@jamesryan6224]

I am always looking for different casseroles. You could make a channel just doing casseroles. They have always been the "in-thing"

[@suzannejarosh9404]

I want to try this,but I'm wondering if it would work if I flipped the layers. if I put the meat mixture on the bottom,the rice mixture on the top,would the meat still cook thoroughly?

[@Handsthatcook]

I know of no reason why flipping it wouldn't work. It's the cooking time and heat inside that cooks it. Just make sure the rice is covered with sauce.. I don't know why you'd want to flip it since the bacon flavors the meat but you do what you think will work for you. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@donnagribbins1763]

If I were to get my husband to eat this, and he would, I would have to add cheddar cheese. He does not think anything can be a casserole without cheese. Honestly I cannot imagine that it would not be good either way, but we are cheese eaters. I think we may try this next week.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Donna. This would be good with cheese so have no fear...your hubby will eat it and like it!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@jillbriska2416]

I agree with you- ADD CHEESE!

[@dellstephenson8817]

Does San ever taste anything he doesn't like? Sounds and looks DELIOUS

[@faithdugan49]

Could pot bacon casserole under broiler for 2-3 mins

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Looks so good. But wish you would list the recipe. Hard to remember everything that is in this dish.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi...this is such a simple recipe I didn't think anyone would need it written down. So sorry! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@maryellenlibonati4901]

Delicious, I sneak a little horse radish in my recipes, delicious in my deviled eggs!!! Ss sh my secret. Lol

[@fluxalpha]

A clarification, when the buzzer goes off on the oven it has indeed preheated to the correct temp, but the act of opening the door releases that heat, letting it preheat another 10 minutes causes the actual oven itself (the sides, the racks the floor)get hot and hold temp better rather than just the air inside being heated.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Narfle, when the buzzer goes off, the oven is from 5 to 7 degrees reaching the required temperature, if your oven is gauged and comes to the required temp. This is a proven fact but I thank you for your input and opinion. God Bless, Linda

[@beckyhines3814]

I wrote down the recipe. All but the green peppers. I think I will just add extra mushrooms or something. Good to hear both your voices on here. I know it's an older video but I must not of seen it or commented. Anyway I wrote it down so I'm good to go. Hope your having a good week. ❤

[@essemsween818]

Huh, look at that, another upside down pie. lol. I wondered where it was going when you were mixing in the big bowl, but I kept telling myself "it's got bacon, it will be fine" there's very little that can't be improved with bacon. Looked really good, that rice sucked up all that tomato sauce really well. Were you in any way tempted to dust the top with cheese?

[@Handsthatcook]

LOL....you betcha...I love cheese! I told myself I was going to follow the recipe, so with much reluctance, I did. It would have been better with a little cheese!!! LOL TFW and commenting God Bless LInda

[@essemsween818]

Next time, one of your cans of rotel (we don't have that in the UK, but it looked like tomato with peppers or chillies? ) instead of one of the sauces, thin bacon & topped with cheese!! Sam will be Tango-ing you round the kitchen. 😆

[@Handsthatcook]

Essem, Rotel is rough cut tomatoes with chilis. It comes mild, med, hot and extra hot. Good suggestion!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@essemsween818]

I've seen you use it in a few videos it's just funny that today I saw it in the 'upside down shepherd's pie' video, then in this one I just thought it might go well.

[@juneprayswithoutceasing3539]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Handsthatcook]

JWW...yes it was good!! TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda

[@myrnabagogloo5413]

Linda take the 3 slices of Bacon and fry separate, the when the meal is done then put the cook bacon over it. Take care you and Sam. Myrna. B...

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Myrna, I was following a recipe in an old cookbook and didn't change a thing....so what you saw is what I got, LOL! Thanks! TFW God Bless, Linda

[@meanhe8702]

My instinct would be to chop and crisp that bacon first, also to use lean ground beef.

[@diannajett]

Great way to stretch a pound of hamburger. Looks delicious!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hey Dianna,, this was tasty and easy as well. TFW and commenting!!! God Bless, Linda

[@Claudine-vj2ho]

For the last five minutes put under the broiler to crisp the bacon...I only like crispy bacon.other than that it looks good

[@Handsthatcook]

Good idea...I'll try that next time. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@andreaholmes3097]

I WILL BE TRYING THE BEST COLD CAKE POUND CAKE WISH ME LUCK·

[@Handsthatcook]

That is my absolute favorite pound cake of all the 11 videos...another great one is the pecan pound cake using 1 cup of ground pecans in the place of 1 cup of flour....it's really good also. Let me know how yours turns out. God Bless, Linda

[@tammycampbell7797]

I would think it would be better with some chili powder or taco seasoning and cheese. I would also saute the onions and peppers first to get rid of the raw taste.

[@lindaspencer-blackledge5706]

Can't eat this due to food allergies.

[@Handsthatcook]

I'm so sorry! TFW God bless!!

[@suepierce7216]

doesn't look good

[@Handsthatcook]

Sorry you feel that way Sue....it was delicious. TFW and commenting. God Bless, Linda
