Easy Hamburger Rice Casserole
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
2 cups (370 g) long-grain white rice, uncooked
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) French onion soup
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) beef consomme
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, sliced into pats
chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink (8-10 minutes). Drain grease.
Add the ground beef to the prepared baking dish. Top with uncooked rice, french onion soup, and beef consomme. Stir to combine.
Top the rice mixture with the pats of butter.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking, uncovered, for 30 additional minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and tender.
Fluff the rice and serve garnished with chives.
