Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup white rice, uncooked
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, breaking up the meat as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, combine the uncooked white rice and beef broth. Stir to distribute the rice evenly.

Step 5

Add the cooked beef mixture to the casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 6

Stir the cream of mushroom soup into the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the frozen peas and carrots over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil, stir the casserole gently to mix the ingredients, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
