Description
A comforting Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole that combines savory ground beef, creamy sauce, and melty cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 0.5 cup long-grain white rice
- 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Crumble the ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until evenly browned and drain excess grease.
- Mix in ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and diced tomatoes into the skillet, add uncooked rice, and mix until well combined.
- Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is fully cooked.
- Preheat and broil: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Once the rice is cooked, transfer the mixture into a casserole dish and top with shredded mozzarella.
- Broil to perfection: Place the dish under the broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
Notes
For the best results, brown the beef well and use quality cheese. Adjust cook time if using brown rice.
