Description
This delicious Beef and Rice Casserole is perfect for family dinners, combining hearty ingredients for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (Choose halal options like 100% pure beef.)
- 2 cups cooked rice (Any rice will do; white rice adds a classic touch, while brown rice gives a wholesome bite.)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (Sweet or yellow onions work best for that rich flavor.)
- 2 cups beef broth (Ensure it’s halal-certified; it’s the key flavor component.)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Try mozzarella or cheddar to enhance the creaminess.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (For that aromatic essence.)
- to taste Salt and pepper (Can’t forget these essentials!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (A healthy choice for sautéing the onions.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and soft, about 10 minutes.
- Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking apart the meat as it cooks.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed onions, ground beef, garlic powder, and half of the beef broth. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Pour the remaining beef broth over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish goes perfectly with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables.
