Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic salt (to taste)
2 (10.5 oz) cans beef consommé
2 (10.5 oz) cans French onion soup
3/4 cup water
2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
3/4 cup butter, sliced
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef with garlic salt over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
Assemble the Casserole
In the prepared baking dish, mix the uncooked rice with the cooked ground beef. Pour in the French onion soup, beef consommé, and water. Stir until well combined.
Add Butter and Bake
Distribute the butter slices evenly over the top of the casserole. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Finish Baking
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes. For a cheesy version, add shredded or sliced cheese in the last 10 minutes. For a crispy topping, add fried onions or crispy jalapeños before finishing the bake.
Serve
Once cooked, fluff the casserole with a fork and serve warm.
Notes
Use a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet for a one-pot version.
Great cheese options: provolone, Swiss, mozzarella, or gruyère.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
For added richness, substitute part of the water with more consommé or broth.
