This Ground Pork, Peas, and Rice Casserole is a great option for an easy and filling dinner. This recipe incorporates three filling and delicious ingredients: ground pork, long-grain rice, and peas. The pork is browned and mixed with the cooked rice and peas, then baked to create a flavorful and filling casserole. The recipe is easy to make and can be customized to your preferences by swapping out the ground pork for ground chicken or turkey, or adding additional vegetables like chopped carrots or bell peppers.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
2.Rinse rice under cold water and drain well.
3.Bring water to a boil in a pot and add rice. Cover and simmer over low heat until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
4.While the rice is cooking, cook peas in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, or until tender. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
5.Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
6.In a small bowl, whisk together light and dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice wine/sherry.
7.Once pork has browned, add soy sauce mixture and cooked peas to the skillet. Stir well.
8.Transfer the cooked rice and pork mixture to a casserole dish. Press the mixture down with a spoon to create an even layer. Sprinkle with green onions and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Serve hot.
