How To Make The Ground Beef Casserole
Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onion soup mix and cook until the meat is browned. Drain the grease.
Then, add the soups and sour cream and mix well.
Add the beef broth, rice, and shredded cheese to the skillet and mix well. I added 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheese and reserved the rest for the top.
Pour the ground beef mixture into the greased baking dish and top with the remainder of the shredded cheese. Cover with some aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Storage And Reheating Instructions
Any leftovers should be stored in a sealed container or covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. To reheat, put some of the casserole on a microwave-safe plate and heat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.
