Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Can substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • 1 cup Long-Grain White Rice Can use brown rice but increase cooking time.
  • 1 package French Onion Soup Mix Crucial for flavor.
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Vegetable broth can be used for lighter flavor.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella or Swiss) Cheddar cheese can be used for sharper taste.
  • 1 cup French-Fried Onions Can replace with homemade onion rings if preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For greasing the baking dish.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain excess grease and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the uncooked long-grain white rice, French onion soup mix, and beef broth. Stir in the browned ground beef and sour cream until well blended.
  4. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with shredded cheese.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  7. Sprinkle French-fried onions on top and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
