Make this hearty, easy-to-follow ground beef and rice casserole for a satisfying family dinner. It uses simple ingredients for a classic comfort food bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, water, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetable addition, stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots with the rice mixture before baking.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup for the cream of celery soup if needed.
  • To make this ahead, assemble the casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
