# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 small onion, chopped (if you want)
02 -
300 ml cream of mushroom soup
03 -
300 ml French onion soup
04 -
200 g cooked white rice
05 -
450 g ground beef
→ Seasonings
06 -
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme (if you feel like it)
07 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Toppings
09 -
Chopped parsley or green onions to toss on top (your call)
10 -
60 g shredded cheddar cheese
11 -
150 g shredded mozzarella cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Let everything cool off for about 5–10 minutes after baking. Sprinkle some green onions or parsley on if you want. Then you're all set to dig in.
02 -
Once you take off the foil, bake it for another 10–15 minutes. The cheese should look melty and golden.
03 -
Pop some foil on top and bake for around 20 minutes.
04 -
Spread mozzarella and cheddar all over the casserole. Get it evenly scattered for best meltiness.
05 -
Pour your meat and rice mix into a greased baking dish—33x23 cm is just about perfect. Make sure you smooth it out.
06 -
Toss your cooked rice into the skillet. Stir so everything's mingled together.
07 -
Add in both soups, the garlic powder, pepper, and thyme. Give it a couple minutes to simmer together.
08 -
If you're using onion, drop it in the pan and cook for three or four minutes until it smells good and gets soft.
09 -
Grab a big skillet, get it hot on medium-high, and cook the beef. Crumble as you go and drain off extra fat when it’s browned up.
10 -
Fire up your oven to 175°C so it starts heating while you prep everything else.
# Notes:
01 -
Colder, older rice is awesome here since it doesn’t get too mushy or wet in the oven.
