Beef Mushroom Rice Bake (Printable Version)

Creamy, cheesy oven-baked rice with mushrooms and beef makes a cozy, satisfying meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - Black pepper, toss in as much as you like
02 - Salt, add enough for your taste
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 120 g of smooth sour cream
05 - 480 ml beef broth
06 - 295 g canned creamy mushroom soup
07 - 1 cup (180 g) uncooked white rice
08 - 1 small onion, diced up
09 - 1 cup (100 g) mushrooms, chopped
10 - 450 g ground beef

→ Topping

11 - 100 g shredded cheddar cheese—go for it if you want

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Before you serve, let everything hang out for a bit so it’s easier to slice and scoop.
02 - Pop the cheese all over the top (if that’s your thing), bake uncovered for another 5 minutes to get it gooey.
03 - Cover it snug with foil. Bake in your hot oven for 50-60 minutes, until the rice is soft and the liquid’s gone.
04 - Spoon your mixture into the greased dish and smooth down the top.
05 - Grab a big bowl and toss in your cooked beef blend, uncooked rice, creamy soup, broth, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir till it all comes together.
06 - Heat up a skillet at medium. Cook the ground beef, mushrooms, and onion until the beef looks nicely browned. Drain off the greasy bits.
07 - Set your oven to 175°C and give your 22x33 cm baking pan a slick with oil or spray.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Shred your own cheese for meltier goodness. Want more flavor punch? Let mushrooms get brown and toasty in the pan before mixing.
