Ingredients
- 3/4 cup long grain rice
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/2 lb lean beef tips
- 1/2 lb fresh Italian sausage, removed from casing
- 1 1/4 cups Italian pasta sauce with herbs, mushrooms and garlic
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced Fontina or provolone cheese

Preparation
Step 1
Cook rice according to package directions; cool. Add mozzarella. Season with pepper.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut beef tips into thin strips. In a large skillet, add oil and place skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add beef tips and sausage (break up sausage with a fork while cooking) and cook until brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
On the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the rice and mozzarella mixture, half of the tomato sauce and half of the meat mixture. Repeat the rice, sauce and meat layering and top the final layer with Fontina and Swiss cheeses.
Cook for 15-20 minutes in oven until cheeses have melted. Allow the dish to stand for 5 minutes. Cut and serve.
