Ingredients
450 g ground beef
1 cup (100 g) mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 cup (180 g) uncooked white rice
295 g canned cream of mushroom soup
480 ml beef broth
120 g sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
100 g shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare Oven and Dish
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 22 × 33 cm baking dish.
2. Sauté Ingredients
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, mushrooms, and diced onion until beef is fully browned and vegetables are softened. Drain excess fat.
3. Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake Covered
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is fully absorbed.
6. Add Cheese and Finish Baking
Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top (if using), and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
7. Rest and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Notes
For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon dried thyme or paprika.
Brown rice may be substituted, but increase baking time by 15–20 minutes and add extra broth if needed.
Swap ground beef for ground turkey for a lighter option.
This dish can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
