T's Bacon-cheeseburger & Fries Casserole

Ingredients

    FIVE SERVINGS:

    10 oz. 85% lean ground beef, browned & graveled
    ... w/half tsp. salt & 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. black pepper

    70 g. REAL bacon bits, chopped up finer
    ... {I like Kirkland brand!}

    10 oz. white beans, drained & rinsed in cold water
    ... {I like S&W brand!)

    160 g. Brown Minute Rice
    ... cooked according to package directions ~ w/1 tsp. salt & 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. black pepper.

    7.5 oz. (212.55 g.) each:
    ... sweet onions, celery, spinach ~ all finely chopped; orange sweet bell pepper ~ diced or chopped; and sweet kernal corn ~ just the way it is. :)

    22.5 oz. (637.65 g.) petite diced canned tomatoes, *well*-drained
    ... {I like S&W or Hunts brand!}

    22.5 oz. Russet potatoes, cubed
    ... brush w/olive oil (or spray w/olive oil cooking spray) & bake in 450 degree oven for 25 minutes


    Cheese Sauce:
    4 tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (68 g.)
    4 tbsp. x-fine flour for sauces {I like Gold Medal)
    4 tsp. dry mustard {I like Coleman's}
    1 tsp. salt
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp. black pepper
    2 cups skim milk
    4 oz. cheddar cheese


    Note about the black pepper: I like the x-tra fine grind @Costco... if using that kind, go w/the smaller amounts.

    Note about tomatoes: it's also very good to slice cherry or grape tomatoes & use those in this dish! {But nutritional info has been calculated using can'd petite diced tomatoes ~ it can't be *that* different!}
