Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (200 g) uncooked white or brown rice
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz or 300 g) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Prepare the Casserole Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the uncooked rice, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix.
  4. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the prepared baking dish. Pour the rice and broth mixture over the top, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Add the Cheese:
    • Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole. Bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup for a milder flavor.
  • For extra veggies, add frozen peas or carrots before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
