Cheesy Beef and Vegetable Rice Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables, 1 cup of long-grain white rice, 2 cups of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is almost tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Transfer the beef and rice mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
