Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the steamed or lightly blanched broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes and set the mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, broccoli mixture, and cooked rice. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the mixture and stir until well combined.
Transfer the beef and broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Beef Broccoli Bake!
