What Is Shipwreck Casserole?
Shipwreck Casserole is an old-fashioned recipe that is loaded with lots of tasty ingredients like ground beef, rice and veggies. It's the kind of food your grandmother would make.
It's called a Shipwreck Casserole because it's a conglomeration of ingredients that are thrown together a bit like a shipwreck and it totally looks like a shipwreck. Spoon it out and you'll see that it's messy and all over the place. There is no rhyme or reason to the layers ( they always fall apart) and it looks like a catastrophe, aka a shipwreck. Believe me, though, Shipwreck Casserole is a good catastrophe and SO deeeeelicious!

The typical ingredients in Shipwreck Casserole are very simple and budget-friendly. Here's the roundup:

How Do You Make Shipwreck Casserole?
This recipe seriously could not be easier because you don't even have to cook any of the ingredients before baking this casserole. Yes, even the ground beef goes in uncooked. It will cook in the oven along with the rest of the ingredients.
Start with a 13×9 casserole dish. The first layer is the uncooked rice. Add the rice to the bottom of the greased dish and then layer on the onion, potatoes, ground beef, garlic, carrots, celery, water, tomato soup, diced tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each layer as you go.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours. It's that easy. Don't you love it?
Can Ground Beef Casserole Be Made In Advance?
Yes, you can make this beef casserole in advance. Simply layer all of the ingredients in the baking dish as instructed, then cover and refrigerate. Right before you're ready to bake your casserole, add the foil on top and pop it in the oven. You'll need to add about 10-15 more minutes to the bake time to compensate for the fact that you're starting with a chilled casserole.
Variations:
This shipwreck casserole is a great basic recipe that can be altered in different ways to be customized to your tastes. Some variations include using ground turkey instead of beef, and adding more vegetables like peas or green beans. You could even add extra ingredients like macaroni or egg noodles and try topping this with a layer of cheese before baking.
If you're craving comfort food tonight, grab a package of ground beef at the grocery store and try this casserole. You won't be disappointed!
