Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole
This American dinner casserole is the definition of simple comfort food. It combines ground beef with cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes and white rice for a hearty base, all topped with a generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese. Using just five core ingredients, it comes together quickly for a satisfying family meal. The method involves browning the beef, simmering everything together, then finishing under the broiler for a perfectly golden, cheesy topping.
Ingredients
- 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
Method
- Place the ground beef into a skillet, crumbling it as you add it. Cook while stirring until it is browned throughout. Drain any fat, then mix in the cream of mushroom soup, the canned tomatoes with their juice, and the uncooked rice. Cover the skillet and let it simmer, giving it an occasional stir, until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Turn on your oven's broiler to preheat. Once the rice mixture is ready, spoon it from the skillet into a casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the dish under the broiler until the cheese has fully melted and developed a light golden colour. Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference before serving.
