How to Make Beef And Basmati Rice Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef with 1 medium chopped onion (about 1 cup) over medium-high heat, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
- Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Transfer the browned beef and onion mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups basmati rice, 28 ounces (794ml) canned crushed tomatoes, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the rice mixture evenly over the meat in the casserole dish.
- Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the casserole is heated through. Stir gently halfway through baking.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
