Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium White onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots, thawed
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if needed.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pork mixture, cooked white rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, thawed peas and carrots, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to set slightly before serving.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for color. Serve warm and enjoy!
