Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice uncooked
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 10.75 oz cream of mushroom soup 1 can
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  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. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef with plant-based meat or extra vegetables. You can use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or Mexican blend. Make sure to keep the foil on for the first 25 minutes to ensure rice cooks properly. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
