Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat.
Cooking
  1. Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and mushroom soup. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

This casserole can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. It is also freezer-friendly for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a splash of broth to keep it creamy. For variations, try using ground turkey or black beans and diced peppers.
