Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice uncooked
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion until cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, beef broth, and uncooked rice until well combined.
  • Stir the beef mixture into the bowl and fold everything together.
  • Pour into your prepared baking dish and top with 1 cup of the shredded cheddar.
  • Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like.
