Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside. Steam broccoli until tender.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Combine cooked rice, broccoli, beef, soup, cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly and top with remaining cheese.

Serving

  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure the rice is cooked but firm to avoid a mushy texture. Let the casserole rest before serving for the flavors to meld.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Substitute cheddar with mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Keep in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prep ingredients ahead and assemble just before baking for a quick meal.
