Description
This hearty casserole blends savory ground beef, creamy soups, and cheesy rice for a comforting dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
For the Casserole:
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (10.5 oz) can French onion soup
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with the chopped onion until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with French onion soup, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, uncooked rice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Assemble: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Bake covered: Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Top with cheese: Uncover the dish, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot!
Notes
Use Swiss cheese for a more classic French onion flavor, or mozzarella for a milder option.
Add sautéed mushrooms or green beans for extra texture and flavor.
