Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Cheesy Ground Beef Rice Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the Beef and Vegetable Mixture

  1. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 2: Add Rice and Seasoning

  1. Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the uncooked rice and beef broth, mixing well to combine.
  2. Add Cream of Mushroom Soup and Tomatoes: Add the cream of mushroom soup and diced tomatoes with green chilies, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Season: Add Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Simmer the Mixture

  1. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Preheat Oven: While the rice cooks, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Add Cheese: Once the rice is cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well blended into the mixture.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5: Top with Cheese and Bake

  1. Add Final Layer of Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a cheesy crust.
  2. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  1. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
  2. Serve Hot: Spoon the casserole into bowls and enjoy this cheesy, comforting meal with your family.
