Ingredients
  

Casserole Base
  • 1 lb ground beef preferably lean
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
  • 1 can French onion soup 10.5 oz
  • 1 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Beef and Rice Mixture
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the uncooked rice, French onion soup, and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Bake the Casserole
  1. Transfer the beef and rice mixture to a greased casserole dish. Spread evenly.
  2. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
