🧾 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
• 2 ½ cups beef broth or water
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
• 1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, or your choice)
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• Fresh parsley or green onions (optional garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the Beef

In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Add Onion & Garlic

Stir in chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

3. Build the Casserole Base

Add uncooked rice, diced tomatoes (with juices), broth, frozen vegetables, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

4. Bake

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

5. Top with Cheese

Remove foil, sprinkle the top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and return to the oven uncovered. Bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
