Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to retain their bright color and crispness. Drain and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, cooked rice, sautéed onion and garlic, blanched broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this warm and comforting dish with your favorite side salad or bread.
