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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
