Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion and minced garlic until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy casserole.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked beef mixture with the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly to prevent sticking, then transfer the combined mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture to create a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese has melted and slightly browned.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup if preferred.
  • Use leftover cooked rice to save preparation time.
  • For added veggies, consider mixing in diced bell peppers or mushrooms with the beef.
  • Top with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
