It’s the answer to, “What on earth will I make for dinner?”
You know the expression, “Everything but the kitchen sink?” Well, that’s where this casserole gets its name. It’s got pretty much everything you can think of in it: ground beef, onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, rice, cheese, butter, steak sauce, onion powder, and tomato soup. And somehow, it all works together.
The nice thing about this dish is that, although it’s got lots of things in it, they’re mostly things you tend to have in your kitchen most of the time. It doesn’t call for anything fancy or unusual, like wild rice or watercress. Those things are nice when you can get them, but they’re not much help when you’ve got a hectic day ahead of you, there’s absolutely no time to go to the store, and you need to get dinner on the table somehow.
On days like that, this recipe is your best friend. You can find everything you need in your fridge and pantry, throw it together in the Crockpot in about ten minutes, and just switch it on. Then you can head out on whatever hectic errands your schedule has in store, knowing that dinner will be ready and waiting when you come home. A slow cooker casserole the family will gobble up!

Hmmm… the jury is out on this one…
My husband like it though. I used the Instant Pot slow cooker setting but I should not have used high for 4 hours. (Maybe medium or evening less time?) After 3 hours was getting way too mushy.
Maybe a good base recipe. I didn’t cook the ground meat (chicken – 1 lb.) The potatoes got way to mushy and broken up and the rice too. I added a cut up red pepper and some broccoli later on which was nice. It was a little bland though. I added some bagel spice, and some red hot sauce with some extra salt and pepper at the end – which helped.

SO happy to hear your hubby liked it. Sorry it didn’t turn out the way you liked it. I have only made this one as written, in my slow cooker, so maybe your IP Slow Cooker setting runs hotter than most?
Bethany says
This is regular white rice, correct? Not instant? Would the cook time vary for brown rice? Thanks!
Corey says
Yes regular white rice. I haven’t tried brown rice, but I think it should be a similar cooking time.
