Serbian Pork and Beef Casserole

Ingredients

• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/4 cup bacon
• 4 pork hocks, meat removed
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
• 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice
• 4 cups chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown ground beef, bacon, pork meat from hocks, and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sauerkraut and rice. Transfer contents to a casserole, and stir in chicken broth.

Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven until rice is cooked, about 30 to 45 minutes. Check liquid level periodically; add water if the casserole is drying out.
