Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium White onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pork mixture, cooked white rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, thawed peas and carrots, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to set slightly before serving.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for color. Serve warm and enjoy!
