Kitty Litter Casserole



1 cup Bisquick
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound ground beef
2 cups long grain rice
3 3/4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter

1. Combine the bisquick, cheese, and ground beef. Form into tootsie-roll shapes of different sizes. Set oven to 350 degrees F. Place beef rolls in a baking pan in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked. Drain on paper towelling.
2. Combine the rice, water, salt and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low.
3. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked. Combine rice and beef rolls in a baking dish. Serve with a clean (new!) kitty litter scoop for added effect.
