How to Make Beef And Rice Casserole

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 cup long-grain white rice, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Cover the dish with foil.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the casserole is bubbly.
  5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

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!
