Here’s a simple and delicious Hamburger Rice Casserole recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and chopped green bell pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned beef mixture, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes (with their juice), uncooked rice, water, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well to combine.
4. Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
6. Add Cheese: Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
