  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, diced

Rice and Base

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups beef broth

Dairy and Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and chopped mushrooms to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions turn translucent and mushrooms release their moisture. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Combine the Base Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Stir well to distribute the rice evenly and blend the soup throughout.
  5. Add the Beef Mixture: Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into the baking dish and stir until everything is well combined and evenly distributed.
  6. Bake the Casserole: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and mostly all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Add Final Touches: Remove the foil, stir in the sour cream until well incorporated. If using cheddar cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top. Return the dish uncovered to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • You can use brown rice but increase the baking time accordingly and add more broth.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or peas for more nutrition.
  • Cheese is optional but adds a nice creamy, melty topping.
  • Ensure the baking dish is tightly covered during baking to prevent drying out.
