Easy Creamy Curry Hotdish

Canned Bear Curry Bake

• 3 c dry rice
• 1 qt canned bear (or if you don't happen to have any canned bear; use 1-2 lbs of meat of your choice, pork and chicken go especially well with curry)
• 1 med onion, sliced
• 1 large carrot, sliced
• 2 ribs celery, sliced
• 1 orange, halved and then thinly sliced
• 1/4 c - 1/3 c sugar
• 1-3 tbs curry powder, depending upon how strong your curry is and how strong you like your curry
• 1 tbs salt

Layer the above in a large baking pan or small roaster.  I used a 10x15" baking dish and covered with aluminum foil.  Next time I will use a roaster, or cover with a jelly roll pan, since the oranges reacted with the foil a little bit.

• 1-2 cans coconut milk
• water to equal 6 c liquid 

Pour over layered ingredients.
Cover and bake at 350°F for 2 hours.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5-15 minutes before serving.  If desired, serve a dollop of plain yogurt on the side or drizzled over the top.
