Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups beef broth Can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth.
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup Can substitute with cream of chicken or homemade sauce.
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded Can use any type of shredded cheese.
  • 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 9×13-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.
  3. Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and mushroom soup. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Make sure to brown the beef properly for the best flavor. You can add your favorite vegetables, such as peas or bell peppers, for a colorful and nutritious boost. To store leftovers, let the casserole cool completely. Transfer it into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator; it will last for about 3-4 days. You can freeze it for up to 2 months.
