Description
A comforting one-pan casserole filled with ground beef, creamy mushroom soup, and tender rice, topped with melted mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 0.5 cup long grain white rice
- 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crumble the ground beef into a heated skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart and cooking until evenly browned.
- Remove excess grease from the skillet, leaving a little for flavor.
- Lower the heat, add the cream of mushroom soup and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine.
- Add the uncooked rice, stirring until coated with the mixture and then cover with a lid.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender (about 15 minutes).
- Preheat the oven’s broiler while the rice finishes cooking.
- Transfer contents to a casserole dish if the skillet is not oven-safe, smooth the top, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the mixture.
- Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the casserole rest for a couple of minutes, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Notes
This casserole is forgiving; feel free to add vegetables or change the type of cheese based on preference.
