Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium 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) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned. Feel free to drain off any excess fat!
  3. Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring this delicious mix to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer this luscious mixture to your prepared baking dish. Cover it with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for that Pinterest-perfect touch!

Notes

This casserole keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. For a healthier twist, try ground turkey or swap veggies like peas or corn in. Salsa or diced tomatoes can add a southwestern flair!
