How to Make Baked Beef And Veggies With Rice

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
3. Add 1 large chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed tomato soup, 1 cup of beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. If needed, stir halfway through cooking.
7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
