This irresistible cheesy hamburger rice casserole recipe is the ultimate comfort food that’s equally easy to make and delicious to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ¾ cups beef broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Italian seasoning, to taste
  • Optional: diced bell peppers, peas, or chopped mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil and set it aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, mixing until smooth. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly. If it looks too thick, add a splash of broth to loosen it up.
  5. Fold in the cooked rice and any optional add-ins like diced bell peppers or peas. Stir until everything is well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, covering the entire surface. Feel free to add more cheese if you’re feeling extra indulgent!
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.’, ‘Take your time sautéing onions and garlic for enhanced flavor.’, ‘Use cooled, cooked rice to prevent a mushy texture.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasonings before baking.’, ‘Cover the dish loosely with foil if the cheese starts to brown too quickly.’]
