How to Make Hamburger Rice Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1/4 cup butter to the skillet. Melt butter completely.
  4. Stir in 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 8 oz sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour 3 1/2 cups of boiling water into the skillet. Stir to combine.
  6. Transfer the hamburger and rice mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with foil.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 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.
