Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 cup White or brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef mixture, rinsed rice, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and 2 cups of water. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam, which will help cook the rice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes covered.
Remove the foil, sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Dish out and enjoy your comforting hamburger and rice casserole!
