Six layer casserole is a great recipe for when friends are visiting. The preparation can all be done hours in advance.

Ingredients

 * 2 cups diced potatoes
 * 1 cup carrots diced
 * ½ cup diced onion
 * ½ cup raw rice
 * 1 lb ground beef
 * 10 oz canned tomato soup (you may also use homemade tomato sauce)
 * 2 cups water
 * salt and pepper

Procedure

 * 1) Spread layers of raw vegetables and rice in a 9x9-inch baking dish in the order mentioned above and crumble raw hamburger on the top.
 * 2) Mix the soup and water and pour over all.
 * 3) Add salt and pepper on top.
 * 4) Bake about 1.5–2 hours at 350°F.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * After dishing some of the casserole to your plate, spread ketchup over the top. It may sound odd but it tastes great.
 * If you double the recipe, use a tall 9x13-inch baking dish and bake it a little longer.
