Description
A comforting and delicious Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole that combines ground beef, rice, and cheese for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, diced tomatoes (with juice), cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter option.
