Description
A delicious and hearty French Onion Ground Beef and Rice Casserole that combines savory flavors and comforting textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the uncooked rice, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the beef and onion mixture to the bowl and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a healthier twist, substitute brown rice for white rice and increase the cooking time by about 10-15 minutes.
- Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to the beef mixture for extra nutrition and flavor.
