A comforting and easy-to-make Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole featuring seasoned ground beef, cooked rice, creamy mushroom soup, and melted cheddar cheese baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

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

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (about 10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 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, chopped onion, and minced garlic until the beef is thoroughly browned. Drain off any excess fat to keep the casserole from being greasy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the cooked beef mixture with cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish and transfer the mixture into it, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese topping is fully melted and slightly golden.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if preferred.
  • For added vegetables, consider stirring in 1 cup of chopped bell peppers or mushrooms with the beef.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier or low-carb alternative.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat from beef to prevent a greasy casserole.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
