Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • ½ cup long grain white rice
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir frequently until the beef is evenly browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease for a leaner dish.
  2. Add Soup, Tomatoes, and Rice: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes along with their juice, and the uncooked long grain white rice. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer the Mixture: Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the rice is tender and absorbs the liquid, about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat Broiler and Transfer: While the rice cooks, preheat your oven’s broiler. Once the rice mixture is cooked, transfer it from the skillet into a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add Cheese and Broil: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Place under the broiler just until the cheese melts fully and turns toasty and slightly golden, usually 2-4 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Season and Serve: Remove from the oven and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy a deliciously cheesy, hearty meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can season the ground beef with garlic powder or onion powder while browning.
  • Using low-sodium soup and canned tomatoes can help control the salt content.
  • If you prefer, substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a cheese blend for different taste profiles.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the cream of mushroom soup is gluten-free or use a homemade version.
