French Onion Ground Beef And Rice Casserole
A hearty, no-fuss casserole with ground beef, long grain rice, French onion soup, and butter. Rich, comforting, and perfect for family dinners.
- 1 pound 450g lean ground beef
- ½ to 1 teaspoon garlic salt to taste
- 2 cans 10.5 oz each beef consomme
- 2 cans 10.5 oz each French onion soup
- 180 ml ¾ cup water
- 2 cups long grain white rice uncooked
- 170 g ¾ cup butter, sliced (1 ½ sticks)
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet with garlic salt over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks. Drain the fat if needed.
Spread the uncooked rice in the bottom of the baking dish. Add the cooked beef on top.
Add the beef consomme, French onion soup, and water. Stir gently to mix everything.
Place slices of butter evenly over the mixture.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Take off the foil and bake for 30 more minutes, until the top is golden and the liquid is mostly gone.
Let the casserole sit for a few minutes. Fluff it gently with a fork, then serve.
