Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 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)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup. Add salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Can use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Add vegetables like bell peppers or peas for extra nutrition.
