A warm and comforting casserole that combines ground beef, rice, and gooey cheddar cheese.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned, then drain any excess fat.
Stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring everything to a boil then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover it with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Feel free to substitute ground turkey for the beef or use brown rice for a heartier texture.
