Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
- 1 can water chestnuts, sliced
- 2 cups white rice, cooked
- 3 green onions, sliced thinly
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon while cooking.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and sliced water chestnuts. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to thaw and absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently mix in the cooked white rice until everything is evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Chinese Hamburger Casserole!
