Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef stew meat
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of celery soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 cup Long grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the uncooked long-grain white rice evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, French onion soup, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Add the beef stew meat to the bowl and stir until all pieces are coated with the soup mixture.
Pour the beef and soup mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish, ensuring that the liquid fully covers the rice.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Make sure there are no gaps or tears to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 3 hours without opening the oven or removing the foil. (No peeking!)
After 3 hours, carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before uncovering.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork and transfer the casserole to serving plates. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and freshly chopped parsley for extra color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, no-fuss meal with your favorite side dishes or a crisp green salad.
