Ingredients for Beef Rice

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • Beef Broth
  • Long Grain Rice

How to Make Beef Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the beef broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. In a 1 1/2-quart greased casserole dish, combine the cooked rice and the beef broth mixture.
  6. (Optional) Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Cover the casserole dish and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
