How to make Cheesy Ground Beef and Rice Casserole<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Stir in the salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings as the beef cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: When done, drain the excess grease and transfer it to a plate. Tent the ground beef mixture with a foil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the diced onions to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Then, add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Add the beef broth to the pot along with butter and rice. Stir well until incorporated. Bring this to a boil, then decrease to a simmer. Put the lid on and tightly cover the pot. Cook for additional 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Remove the cover and add the mushrooms to the pot. Cover again and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more. You can refer to the package direction for the exact cooking time of the rice. At this point, DO NOT STIR THE RICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Turn the heat off, but leave the cover on. Let the casserole stand for about 10 minutes, undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: To the pot, add the ground beef along with the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and half of the cheese. Stir well until incorporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: To a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, transfer everything and top with the rest of the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 10: Tent the casserole and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes until done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
