Description
A comforting and hearty casserole combining ground beef, creamy soups, and cheese, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- Optional: green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onions until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir to coat the meat evenly in those savory spices.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes (with their juice), milk, and cooked rice. Stir until well combined.
- Add the seasoned beef to the bowl with the soup and rice mixture. Mix well.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese evenly on top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
- This casserole is great for leftovers and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
