Beef Rice Casserole
- 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 1 c. chopped onion
- 1 (10 oz.) pkg. chopped broccoli
- 1 can broccoli cheese soup
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. garlic (fresh)
- 3/4 c. rice
- 1 1/2 c. water
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Prepare the rice with the water in standard manner. (I do not use salt or margarine in the preparation of the rice.) While the rice is cooking, chop the onions and garlic. Saute slowly until onions are just tender. Add the ground beef and brown. Cook onions and ground beef about 7 minutes. Drain off the fat. Return to medium heat. Separately mix the broccoli cheese soup and milk. Stir until creamy in texture. At this point, test for taste. I usually add table grind black pepper and salt (less than 1/2 teaspoon). When the ground beef is ready, add the rice and broccoli and soup mixture, tossing carefully. Put the mixture into a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 casserole dish. Sometimes I top this with seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake about 35 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
