Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups beef broth

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • aluminum foil
  • wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add diced onion and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mixture, uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the top is lightly browned.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Ensure the rice is fully tender before serving. This casserole thickens as it rests and tastes even better the next day.
