Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef seasoned
  • 1 cup uncooked rice white or brown
  • 2 cups beef broth or water
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
Vegetables
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • breadcrumbs for topping
  • parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion and bell pepper, breaking apart the meat as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Once the beef is fully cooked and the veggies are tender, stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix until well combined.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the beef and rice mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread it evenly.
  2. Top the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the top for a crunchier texture.
Baking
  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  2. Once ready, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added nutrition, consider adding frozen peas or corn to the mixture. You can prepare it a day in advance and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Use a blend of different cheeses for unique flavors.
