Description

This Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole is the ultimate comfort food. With savory ground beef, creamy mushroom soup, and gooey melted cheese, it’s the perfect weeknight dinner for busy families.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

2. Drain off grease, and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes (with juice), and uncooked rice.

3. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked and tender, about 15 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven’s broiler.

5. Transfer the contents of the skillet into a casserole dish.

6. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

7. Broil until cheese is melted and lightly golden.

8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Feel free to swap mozzarella for cheddar for a sharper flavor.

Add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra depth.
