For a comforting, cheesy dinner that brings everyone to the table, this Beef and Rice Casserole is the perfect choice.
Loaded with hearty ground beef, tender rice, and gooey cheddar cheese, it’s a delicious, one-dish meal that’s easy to prepare and sure to satisfy.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the rice, beef broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, stir in the sour cream and half of the cheddar cheese.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tip: For an extra kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
