Description
A simple recipe for a baked casserole featuring ground beef, mushrooms, and a creamy rice base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, uncooked rice, beef broth, milk, thyme, and pepper until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rice is tender.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef if desired.
- For a richer flavor, use fresh herbs instead of dried thyme.
