A hearty and comforting French Onion Ground Beef and Rice Casserole, perfect for busy nights or family meals. This one-pan dish combines savory French onion soup, juicy ground beef, and fluffy rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the uncooked rice, French onion soup, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the casserole. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a healthier version, substitute ground beef with lean turkey or chicken.
  • For added texture, try sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
  • To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños while cooking the beef.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • If you want to freeze leftovers, wrap tightly in foil or use an airtight container for up to 2-3 months.
