1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

Fremgangsmåte

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.

Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Transfer the beef and rice mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven uncovered for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with steamed broccoli, green beans, or a crisp salad.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave or covered in a 350°F oven until hot.
