Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup white or jasmine rice, uncooked
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to coat the beef and onion mixture evenly, then season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, spread the uncooked rice evenly. Layer the julienned carrots and frozen peas on top of the rice.

Step 6

Pour the beef broth over the rice and vegetables. Gently spoon the cooked beef mixture evenly over the top.

Step 7

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

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the foil, stir the casserole slightly to check that the rice is tender, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow excess liquid to evaporate, if needed.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Oriental Hamburger Casserole with a side of your favorite Asian-inspired salad or steamed vegetables.
