Cheesy Ground Beef And Rice Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook and stir until pepper has slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Strain 1/2 of the liquid from the canned diced tomatoes into the mixture.
• Stir diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper into the ground beef mixture. Simmer until some of the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add rice and mix well. Transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Lightly spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Partially brown ground beef seasoned with half the garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When meat starts to brown, stir in the onions and continue to cook until onions are tender, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and drain off any excess fat. Preheat oven to 350°F. Set the skillet back on the warm burner (no need to turn it on) and stir in the tomato sauce until incorporated, then stir in the broth. Stir in the rice, corn, additional seasonings to taste, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the remaining cup of cheese. Return to oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until hot and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute rice and garlic in butter until golden brown. Stir in water, carrots, bouillon, parsley, salt, basil and onion. Bring to a boil. reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in beef. Transfer to a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Cover and bake at 325° for 45 minutes, stirring twice. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• *What I mean by "partly drained" with the mushrooms is to let the water run out but don't press down with the lid to squeeze the water out.
• Brown ground beef and onions together until beef is browned; drain most of excess liquid (don't go nuts, just get what you can with a spoon).
• Prepare instant rice according to package directions: bring water to a boil, then add rice. Stir, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir, cover, and let sit an additional 5 minutes.
• Reserve about 1/2 cup grated cheese; combine all the rest of the ingredients in a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Bake at 350F for 30 minutes; sprinkle reserved cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes or until melted.
• Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
